Albert Camus
Image
How do you put everyone in the pool, so you have the right to dry yourself in the sun?
Albert Camus
Image
I do not have much liking for the too famous existential philosophy, and, to tell the truth, I think its conclusions false.
Albert Camus
Image
To abandon oneself to principles is really to die - and to die for an impossible love which is the contrary of love.
Albert Camus
Image
The absurd is lucid reason noting its limits.
Albert Camus
Image
You cannot create experience. You must undergo it.
Albert Camus
Image
To be born to create, to love, to win at games is to be born to live in time of peace. But war teaches us to lose everything and become what we were not. It all becomes a question of style.
Albert Camus
