More quotes by Albert Camus

Albert Camus
I was absent at the moment I took up the most space.
Albert Camus
What made me run away was doubtless not so much the fear of settling down, but of settling down permanently in something ugly.
Albert Camus
It's a kind of spiritual snobbery that makes people think they can be happy without money.
Albert Camus
It is easier to kill what we do not know.
Albert Camus
I was comfortable in all, I admit, but at the same time, nothing satisfied me. Each joy made me seek another.
Albert Camus

Albert Camus
You will never live if you are looking for the meaning of life.
Albert Camus
But when a man has had only four hours' sleep he isn't sentimental. He sees things as they are: that is to say, he sees them in the garish light of justice hideous, witless justice.
Albert Camus
The most elementary form of rebellion, paradoxically , expresses an aspiration for order .
Albert Camus

Albert Camus
There is but one truly serious philosophical problem and that is suicide.
Albert Camus
Working conditions for me have always been those of the monastic life: solitude and frugality. Except for frugality, they are contrary to my nature, so much so that work is a violence I do to myself.
Albert Camus
Life is the result of all your choices.
Albert Camus
The reasoning is classic in its clarity. If God does not exist, Kirilov is god. If God does not exist, Kirilov must kill himself. Kirilov must therefore kill himself to become god. That logic is absurd, but it is what is needed.
Albert Camus
There's the risk of being loved...and that would keep me from being happy.
Albert Camus
In our wildest aberrations we dream of an equilibrium we have left behind and which we naively expect to find at the end of our errors. Childish presumption which justifies the fact that child-nations, inheriting our follies, are now directing our history.
Albert Camus
Art and revolt will die only with the last man.
Albert Camus
A fate is not a punishment.
Albert Camus
