"The true work of art is always..." - Quote by Albert Camus

“No code of ethics and no effort are justifiable a priori in the face of the cruel mathematics that command our condition.”

“In Oran, as elsewhere, for want of time and thought, people have to love one another without knowing it.”

“The society based on production is only productive, not creative.”

“Why do you try to understand art? Do you try to understand the song of a bird?”

“I have on my table a violin string. It is free to move in any direction I like. If I twist one end, it responds; it is free. But it is not free to sing. So I take it and fix it into my violin. I bind it and when it is bound, it is free for the first time to sing.”

“As in a love affair, two creative people can destroy themselves trying to recapture that youthful spirit, at twenty-one or twenty-four, of creating without even being aware of how it's happening”

“I am large, I contain multitudes”

“Mankind is not a circle with a single center but an ellipse with two focal points of which facts are one and ideas the other.”

“The function of the machine is to liberate man from brute burdens, and release his energies to the building of his intellectual and spiritual powers for conquests in the fields of thought and higher action.”
