Albert Camus

I opened myself to the gentle indifference of the world.

Albert Camus

I realized people would soon forget me once I was dead. I couldn’t even say that this was hard to stomach; really, there’s no idea to which one doesn’t get acclimatized in time.

Albert Camus

I rebel; therefore I exist.

Albert Camus

I shall tell you a great secret my friend. Do not wait for the last judgement, it takes place every day.

Albert Camus

I should like to be able to love my country and still love justice.

Albert Camus

I sometimes need to write things which I cannot completely control but which therefore prove that what is in me is stronger than I am.

I sometimes think of what future historians will say of us. A single sentence will suffice for modern man: He fornicated and read the papers.

Albert Camus

I want to know if I can live with what I know, and only than.

Albert Camus

I was born poor and without religion, under a happy sky, feeling harmony, not hostility, in nature. I began not by feeling torn, but in plenitude.

Albert Camus

I was very fond of you, but now I’m so, so tired. I’m not happy to go, but one needn’t be happy to make another start.
