More quotes by Albert Camus
I would rather not have upset him, but I couldn't see any reason to change my life. Looking back on it, I wasn't unhappy. When I was a student, I had lots of ambitions like that. But when I had to give up my studies I learned very quickly that none of it really mattered.
Albert Camus
To govern means to pillage, as everyone knows.
Albert Camus
People believe a man is in distress because his loved one dies in one day. But his real pain is less futile: it is that he finds out that sadness too does not last. Even pain has no meaning.
Albert Camus
At times I feel myself overtaken by an immense tenderness for these people around me who live in the same century.
Albert Camus
Ce que je sais de la morale, c'est au football que je le dois. (I know of morality, it is football that I owe.)
Albert Camus
When the imagination sleeps, words are emptied of their meaning: a deaf population absent-mindedly registers the condemnation of a man. ... there is no other solution but to speak out and show the obscenity hidden under the verbal cloak.
Albert Camus
It's a kind of spiritual snobbery that makes people think they can be happy without money.
Albert Camus
The real passion of the twentieth century is servitude.
Albert Camus
If we understood the enigmas of life there would be no need for art.
Albert Camus
The laws of nature may be operative up to a certain limit, beyond which they turn against themselves to give birth to the absurd.
Albert Camus
Every act of rebellion expresses a nostalgia for innocence and an appeal to the essence of being.
Albert Camus
At one time or another all normal people have wished their loved ones were dead.
Albert Camus
A liking for truth at any cost is a passion that spares nothing and that nothing resists. It's a vice, at times a comfort, or a selfishness.
Albert Camus
Can one be a saint if God does not exist? That is the only concrete problem I know of today.
Albert Camus
... unhappiness is like marriage. We believe we chose it, but then it is choosing us. That is how it is, we can do nothing about it.
Albert Camus
A taste for truth at any cost is a passion which spares nothing.
Albert Camus
What the world requires of the Christians is that they should continue to be Christians.
Albert Camus
Nothing in the world is worth turning one's back on what one loves.
Albert Camus
Man stands face to face with the irrational. He feels within him his longing for happiness and for reason. The absurd is born of this confrontation between the human need and the unreasonable silence of the world.
Albert Camus
In the depths of winter, I finally learned that within me there lay an invincible summer.
Albert Camus
