Albert Camus
Image
If God did not exist, we should have to invent him. If God did exist, we should have to abolish Him.
Albert Camus
Image
No doubt our love was still there, but quite simply it was unusable, heavy to carry, inert inside of us, sterile as crime or condemnation. It was no longer anything except a patience with no future and a stubborn wait.
Albert Camus
Image
Only he who is uncompromising as to his rights maintains the sense of duty.
Albert Camus
Image
By definition, a government has no conscience. Sometimes it has a policy, but nothing more.
Albert Camus
Image
Integrity needs no rules.
Albert Camus
Image
It is the job of thinking people not to be on the side of the executioners.
Albert Camus
