Albert Camus 1913 - 1960

Don’t walk in front of me, I may not follow. Don’t walk behind me, I may not lead. Walk beside me, just be my friend.

You will never be happy if you continue to search for what happiness consists of. You will never live if you are looking for the meaning of life.

In the depth of winter, I finally learned that within me there lay an invincible summer.

Man is the only creature who refuses to be what he is.

Nobody realizes that some people expend tremendous energy merely to be normal.

Should I kill myself, or have a cup of coffee?

Live to the point of tears.

You know what charm is: a way of getting the answer yes without having asked any clear question.

But in the end one needs more courage to live than to kill himself.

The only way to deal with an unfree world is to become so absolutely free that your very existence is an act of rebellion.

When I look at my life and its secret colours, I feel like bursting into tears.

Autumn is a second spring when every leaf is a flower.

To be happy, we must not be too concerned with others.

I may not have been sure about what really did interest me, but I was absolutely sure about what didn't.

Fiction is the lie through which we tell the truth.

I opened myself to the gentle indifference of the world.

At the heart of all beauty lies something inhuman.

Always go too far, because that's where you'll find the truth.

In order to understand the world, one has to turn away from it on occasion.
