Image
For the existentials, negation is their God. To be precise, that god is maintained only through the negation of human reason. But, like suicides, gods change with men.
Albert Camus
Image
To insure the adoration of a theorem for any length of time, faith is not enough, a police force is needed as well.
Albert Camus
Image
Yes, there was an element of abstraction and unreality in misfortune. But when an abstraction starts to kill you, you have to get to work on it.
Albert Camus
Image
All that remains is a fate whose outcome alone is fatal. Outside of that single fatality of death, everything, joy or happiness, is liberty. A world remains of which man is the sole master. What bound him was the illusion of another world.
Albert Camus
Image
I know [my label], in any case: a double face, a charming Janus, and underneath, the house motto: Be wary. On my business cards:Jean-Baptiste Clamence, actor.
Albert Camus
Image
I have never been able, really, to regret anything in all my life. I have always been far much too absorbed in the present moment or the immediate future to think back.
Albert Camus
Image
In order to be created, a work of art must first make use of the dark forces of the soul
Albert Camus
Image
I am too far away from what I love and my distance is without remedy.
Albert Camus
Image
The artist forges himself to the others, midway between the beauty he cannot do without and the community he cannot tear himself away from. That is why true artists scorn nothing: they are obliged to understand rather than to judge.
Albert Camus
Image
I am too much in love with my lies and hypocrisies not to confess them fervently.
Albert Camus
Image
It is impossible to give a clear account of the world, but art can teach us to reproduce it-just as the world reproduces itself in the course of its eternal gyrations. The primordial sea indefatigably repeats the same words and casts up the same astonished beings on the same sea-shore.
Albert Camus
Image
If God did not exist, we should have to invent him. If God did exist, we should have to abolish Him.
Albert Camus
Image
Can one be a saint if God does not exist? That is the only concrete problem I know of today.
Albert Camus
Image
It is not rebellion itself which is noble but the demands it makes upon us.
Albert Camus
Image
The modern mind is in complete disarray. Knowledge has stretched itself to the point where neither the world nor our intelligence can find any foot-hold. It is a fact that we are suffering from nihilism.
Albert Camus
Image
This absurd, godless world is, then, peopled with men who think clearly and have ceased to hope. And I have not yet spoken of the most absurd character, who is the creator.
Albert Camus
Image
He seemed so certain about everything, didn't he? And yet none of his certainties was worth one hair of a woman's head. He wasn't even sure he was alive, because he was living like a dead man.
Albert Camus
Image
One dies if necessary, one breaks rather than bending. But I bend, because I continue to love myself.
Albert Camus
Image
The soul of a murderer is blind
Albert Camus
Image
The opposite of an idealist is too often a man without love.
Albert Camus
