It is impossible to give a clear account of the world, but art can teach us to reproduce it-just as the world reproduces itself in the course of its eternal gyrations. The primordial sea indefatigably repeats the same words and casts up the same astonished beings on the same sea-shore.
Albert Camus

Nobody realizes that some people expend tremendous energy merely to be normal.
Albert Camus

Psychology is action, not thinking about oneself.
Albert Camus
Image
There was a time when I didn’t at any minute have the slightest idea how I could reach the next one. Yes, one can wage war in this world, ape love, torture one’s fellow man, or merely say evil of one’s neighbour while knitting. But, in certain cases, carrying on, merely continuing, is superhuman.

Albert Camus

... unhappiness is like marriage. We believe we chose it, but then it is choosing us. That is how it is, we can do nothing about it.
Albert Camus
Image
What the world requires of the Christians is that they should continue to be Christians.
Albert Camus
Image
Why should it be essential to love rarely in order to love much?
Albert Camus
Image
There is always a philosophy for lack of courage.
Albert Camus
Image
It is in the thick of calamity that one gets hardened to the truth - in other words, to silence.
Albert Camus
Image
... man has an idea of a better world than this. But better does not mean different, it means unified... Religion or crime, every human endeavor in fact, finally obeys this unreasonabledesire and claims to give life a form it does not have.
Albert Camus
Image
Men are never convinced of your reasons, of your sincerity, of the seriousness of your sufferings, except by your death. So long as you are alive, your case is doubtful you have a right only to their skepticism.
Albert Camus
Image
Culture: the cry of men in face of their destiny.
Albert Camus

If pimps and thieves everywhere were always punished, honest people would all believe themselves always to be innocent.
Albert Camus
