Albert Camus - P7

Truth, like light, blinds. Falsehood, on the contrary, is a beautiful twilight that enhances every object.
Albert Camus

Virtue cannot separate itself from reality without becoming a principle of evil.

Albert Camus

We are all special cases.
Albert Camus

We call first truths those we discover after all the others.
Albert Camus

We continue to shape our personality all our life. If we knew ourselves perfectly, we should die.

Albert Camus

We rarely confide in those who are better than we are.
Albert Camus

We turn toward God only to obtain the impossible.
Albert Camus

We used to wonder where war lived, what it was that made it so vile. And now we realize that we know where it lives... inside ourselves.

What is a rebel? A man who says no.
Albert Camus

What the world requires of the Christians is that they should continue to be Christians.
Albert Camus

When you have really exhausted an experience you always reverence and love it.
Albert Camus

Albert Camus

Without freedom, no art; art lives only on the restraints it imposes on itself, and dies of all others.
Albert Camus
