More quotes by Albert Camus
But what does it mean, the plague? It's life, that's all.
Albert Camus
The truth is that everyone is bored, and devotes himself to cultivating habits.
Albert Camus
Being is good, but getting rich is better.... If the gods had only the riches of men's adoration, they would be as poor as poor Caligula.
Albert Camus
Betrayal answers betrayal, the mask of love is answered by the disappearance of love.
Albert Camus
I am too far away from what I love and my distance is without remedy.
Albert Camus
The urge to revolt is one of the essential dimensions of human nature.
Albert Camus
There exists an obvious fact that seems utterly moral: namely, that a man is always prey to his truths. Once he has admitted them, he cannot free himself from them. One has to pay something. A man who has become conscious of the absurd is forever bound to it.
Albert Camus
From the moment absurdity is recognized, it becomes a passion, the most harrowing of all. But whether or not one can live with one's passions, whether or not one can accept their law, which is to burn the heart they simultaneously exalt - that is the whole question.
Albert Camus
With rebellion, awareness is born
Albert Camus
Utopia is that which is in contradiction with reality.
Albert Camus
Note, besides, that it is no more immoral to directly rob citizens than to slip indirect taxes into the price of goods that they cannot do without.
Albert Camus
Beauty, no doubt, does not make revolutions. But a day will come when revolutions will have need of beauty.
Albert Camus
Artistic creation is a demand for unity and a rejection of the world.
Albert Camus
Absurd- that is the light mind that establishes its own borders.
Albert Camus
It takes time to live. Like any work of art, life needs to be thought about.
Albert Camus
There is but one freedom, to put oneself right with death. After that everything is possible.
Albert Camus
A lot of jobs don't allow you to be who you are. There is dignity in work only when it is work freely accepted.
Albert Camus
Perhaps we cannot prevent this world from being a world in which children are tortured. But we can reduce the number of tortured children.
Albert Camus
A man without ethics is a wild beast loosed upon this world.
Albert Camus
At that time, I often thought that if I had had to live in the trunk of a dead tree, with nothing to do but look up at the sky flowing overhead, little by little I would have gotten used to it.
Albert Camus
