Albert Camus
Image
If it adapts itself to what the majority of our society wants, art will be a meaningless recreation.
Albert Camus
Image
Imagination offers people consolation for what they cannot be, and humor for what they actually are.
Albert Camus
Image
In the vast reaches of the dry, cold night, thousands of stars were constantly appearing, and their sparkling icicles, loosened at once, began to slip gradually toward the horizon.
Albert Camus
Image
All men have a sweetness in their life. That is what helps them go on. It is towards that they turn when they feel too worn out.
Albert Camus
Image
Men must live and create. Live to the point of tears.
Albert Camus
Image
For the first time, the first, I laid my heart open to the benign indifference of the universe. To feel it so like myself, indeed so brotherly, made me realize that I'd been happy, and that I was happy still.
Albert Camus
Image
Every revolutionary ends up either by becoming an oppressor or a heretic.
