  • Freedom is not a gift received from the State or leader, but a possession to be won every day by the effort of each and the union of all.

  • In that daily effort in which intelligence and passion mingle and delight each other, the absurd man discovers a discipline that will make up the greatest of his strengths. The required diligence and doggedness and lucidity thus resemble the conqueror's attitude. To create is likewise to give a shape to one's fate. For all these characters, their work defines them at least as much as it is defined by them. The actor taught us this: There is no frontier between being and appearing.

    "The Myth of Sisyphus". Book by Albert Camus, 1942.
  • When the throne of God is overturned, the rebel realizes that it is now his own responsibility to create the justice, order, and unity that he sought in vain within his own condition, and in this way to justify the fall of God. Then begins the desperate effort to create, at the price of crime and murder if necessary, the dominion of man.

    Albert Camus (2012). “The Rebel: An Essay on Man in Revolt”, p.25, Vintage
  • Turbulent childhood, adolescent daydreams in the drone of the bus's motor, mornings, unspoiled girls, beaches, young muscles always at the peak of their effort, evening's slight anxiety in a sixteen-year-old-heart, lust for life, fame, and ever the same sky through the years, unfailing in strength and light, itself insatiable, consuming one by one over a period of months the victims stretched out in the form of crosses on the beach at the deathlike hour of noon.

  • Children will still die unjustly even in a perfect society. Even by his greatest effort, man can only propose to diminish, arithmetically, the sufferings of the world.

    Albert Camus (2012). “The Rebel: An Essay on Man in Revolt”, p.303, Vintage
  • You will always win if you make an effort, no matter how much. However, if you failed it means you were too lazy.

  • In the end, we would like not to be guilty while at the same time being dispensed of the effort of purifying ourselves. Not enough cynicism and not enough virtue.

  • The most exhausting effort in my life has been to suppress my own nature in order to make it serve my biggest plans.

    Albert Camus (2008). “Notebooks, 1951-1959”, Ivan R Dee
  • I was always able to understand my friend who decided to quit smoking and who, through an effort of will, succeeded in doing so. One morning, he opened the newspaper, read that the first H- bomb had exploded, found out about the bomb's admirable effects and went straight to the tobacconist's.

  • ...we rarely confide in those who are better than we. Rather, we are more inclined to flee their society. Most often, on the other hand, we confess to those who are like us and who share our weaknesses. Hence we don't want to improve ourselves and be bettered, for we should first have to be judged in default. We merely wish to be pitied and encouraged in the course we have chosen. In short, we should like, at the same time, to cease being guilty and yet not to make the effort of cleansing ourselves.

  • A man wants to earn money in order to be happy, and his whole effort and the best of a life are devoted to the earning of that money. Happiness is forgotten; the means are taken for the end.

    Albert Camus (2012). “The Myth of Sisyphus: And Other Essays”, p.103, Vintage
  • Men are convinced of your arguments, your sincerity, and the seriousness of your efforts only by your death.

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

    Albert Camus (1955). “The Myth of Sisyphus and Other Essays”
