So all a man could win in the conflict between plague and life was knowledge and memories.
Albert Camus
Image
Europe has lived on its contradictions, flourished on its differences, and, constantly transcending itself thereby, has created a civilization on which the whole world depends even when rejecting it. This is why I do not believe in a Europe unified under the weight of an ideology or of a technocracy that overlooked these differences.
Albert Camus

Albert Camus

For rich people, the sky is just an extra, a gift of nature. The poor, on the other hand, can see it as it is, a gift of infinite grace.
Albert Camus
Image
I sometimes need to write things which I cannot completely control but which therefore prove that what is in me is stronger than I am.
Albert Camus
Image
No cause justifies the deaths of innocent people.
Albert Camus
Image
I have a good, hearty laugh and an energetic handshake, and those are trump cards.
Albert Camus
Image
What the world expects of Christians is that Christians should speak out, loud and clear... in such a way that never a doubt, never the slightest doubt, could rise in the heart of the simplest man.
Albert Camus
Image
As for those whose role it is to love us - I mean, relatives and in-laws (what a word)- It's a different tune. They find the right word, but it's usually the one that wounds.
Albert Camus
Image
What is a rebel? A man who says no.
Albert Camus
Image
There is no fate that cannot be surmounted by scorn.
Albert Camus
Image
Maman used to say that you can always find something to be happy about.
