More quotes by Albert Camus
I do not believe in God and I am not an atheist.
Albert Camus
When I see a new face, something sets off an alarm bell inside me. 'slow down! Danger!' Even when the attraction is strongest, I am on my guard.
Albert Camus
You have to be very rich or very poor to live without a trade.
Albert Camus
How do you put everyone in the pool, so you have the right to dry yourself in the sun?
Albert Camus
All great deeds and all great thoughts have a ridiculous beginning.
Albert Camus
Fancy language, like poplin, too often conceals an eczema.
Albert Camus
I am too far away from what I love and my distance is without remedy.
Albert Camus
For the first time, the first, I laid my heart open to the benign indifference of the universe. To feel it so like myself, indeed so brotherly, made me realize that I'd been happy, and that I was happy still.
Albert Camus
If Christianity is pessimistic as to man, it is optimistic as to human destiny. Well, I can say that, pessimistic as to human destiny, I am optimistic as to man.
Albert Camus
Every great work makes the human face more admirable and richer, and this is its whole secret.
Albert Camus
Then we understand that rebellion cannot exist without a strange form of love. Those who find no rest in God or in history are condemned to live for those who, like themselves, cannot live in fact, for the humiliated.
Albert Camus
What's natural is the microbe. All the rest-heath, integrity, purity (if you like)-is a product of the human will, of a vigilance that must never falter. The good man, the man who infects hardly anyone, is the man who has the fewest lapses of attention.
Albert Camus
From Paul to Stalin, the popes who have chosen Caesar have prepared the way for Caesars who quickly learn to despise popes.
Albert Camus
The temptation shared by all forms of intelligence: cynicism.
Albert Camus
One recognizes one's course by discovering the paths that stray from it.
Albert Camus
I am just coming out of five years of night, and this orgy of violent lights gives me for the first time the impression of a new continent. An enormous, 50-foot high Camel billboard : a GI with his mouth wide open blows enormous puffs of real smoke. So much bad taste hardly seems imaginable.
Albert Camus
The first choice an artist makes is precisely to be an artist, and if he chooses to be an artist it is in consideration of what he is himself and because of a certain idea he has of art
Albert Camus
Freedom of the press is perhaps the freedom that has suffered the most from the gradual degradation of the idea of liberty.
Albert Camus
Finally, and most of all, words failed him.
Albert Camus
The truth, as the light, makes blind.
Albert Camus
