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.

More quotes by Albert Camus
Without freedom, no art art lives only on the restraints it imposes on itself, and dies of all others.
Albert Camus
Every man needs slaves like he needs clean air. To rule is to breathe, is it not? And even the most disenfranchised get to breathe. The lowest on the social scale have their spouses or their children.
Albert Camus
For if there is a sin against life, it consists perhaps not so much in despairing of life as in hoping for another life and in eluding the implacable grandeur of this life.
Albert Camus
he's incapable of suffering for a long time, or being happy for a long time. Which means that he's incapable of anything really worth while.
Albert Camus
In the next few years the struggle will not be between utopia and reality, but between different utopias, each trying to impose itself on reality ... we can no longer hope to save everything, but ... we can at least try to save lives, so that some kind of future, if perhaps not the ideal one, will remain possible.
Albert Camus
After a short silence the doctor raised himself a little in his chair and asked if Tarrou had an idea of the path to follow for attaining peace. Yes, he replied. The path of sympathy.
Albert Camus
The more I accuse myself, the more right I have to judge you. Even better, I make you judge yourself, which comforts me the more.
Albert Camus
The great courage is to stare as squarely at the light as at death.
Albert Camus
We're going forward, but nothing changes.
Albert Camus
The world is never quiet, even its silence eternally resounds with the same notes, in vibrations which escape our ears. As for those that we perceive, they carry sounds to us, occasionally a chord, never a melody.
Albert Camus
Rebellion cannot exist without the feeling that somewhere, in some way, you are justified.
Albert Camus
But sometimes it takes more courage to live than to shoot yourself.
Albert Camus
We must learn how to lend ourselves to dreaming when dreams lend themselves to us.
Albert Camus
When one has no character, one HAS to apply a method. Here it did wonders incontrovertibly, and I am living on the site of one of the greatest crimes in human history.
Albert Camus
We all carry within us places of exile, our crimes, our ravages. Our task is not to unleash them on the world it is to transform them in ourselves and others.
Albert Camus
You must have a love, a great love, to ensure an alibi at unjustified despairs that conquer all of us
Albert Camus
Those who weep for the happy periods which they encounter in history acknowledge what they want not the alleviation but the silencing of misery.
Albert Camus
Democracy is not the law of the majority but the protection of the minority.
Albert Camus
I knew a pure heart who refused tot be mistrustful.... He had written at his doorstep: From wherever you are, enter and be welcome. Who do you think responded to this lovely invitation? The militia, who made themselves at home and gutted him.
Albert Camus
If one could only say just once: 'this is clear', all would be saved
Albert Camus
