Albert Camus Quotes

Opinions differ as to the reasons why he became the futile laborer of the underworld. To begin with, he is accused of a certain levity in regard to the gods. He stole their secrets Picture Quote #1

There lay certitude; there, in the daily round. all the rest hung on mere threads and trivial contingencies; you couldn’t waste your time on it. The thing was to do your job as it should be done Picture Quote #1

Yes, there was an element of abstraction and unreality in misfortune. But when an abstraction starts to kill you, you have to get to work on it Picture Quote #1

I know with certainty that a man’s work is nothing but the long journey to recover, through the detours of art, the two or three simple and great images which first gained access to his heart Picture Quote #1

We are all exceptional cases... Each man insists on being innocent, even if it means accusing the whole human race, and heaven Picture Quote #1

There exists an obvious fact that seems utterly moral: namely, that a man is always a prey to his truths. Once he has admitted them, he cannot free himself from them. One has to pay something Picture Quote #1
