Albert Camus

In order to exist, man must rebel, but rebellion must respect the limits that it discovers in itself - limits where minds meet, and in meeting, begin to exist. ”

A free press can, of course, be good or bad, but, most certainly without freedom, the press will never be anything but bad. ”

Men are never really willing to die except for the sake of freedom: therefore they do not believe in dying completely. ”

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

Freedom is nothing but a chance to be better. ”

Real generosity toward the future lies in giving all to the present. ”

There is in me an anarchy and frightful disorder. Creating makes me die a thousand deaths, because it means making order, and my entire being rebels against order. But without it I would die, scattered to the winds. ”

Rebellion cannot exist without the feeling that somewhere, in some way, you are justified. ”

Every man, and for stronger reasons, every artist, wants to be recognized. So do I. ”

The day when I am no more than a writer I shall cease to be a writer. ”
