More quotes by Albert Camus
In the midst of winter, I found there was, within me, an invincible summer. And that makes me happy. For it says that no matter how hard the world pushes against me, within me, there’s something stronger – something better, pushing right back.
Albert Camus
No cause justifies the deaths of innocent people.
Albert Camus
It's not the struggle that makes us artists, but Art that makes us struggle.
Albert Camus
Don't wait for the last judgment - it takes place every day.
Albert Camus
For a man who loves power, competition from the gods is annoying. I have done away with that. I have proven to these illusory godsthat a man, if he has the will, can practice, without any apprenticeship, their ridiculous trade.
Albert Camus
Modern conquerors can kill, but do not seem to be able to create. Artists know how to create but cannot really kill. Murderers are only very exceptionally found among artists.
Albert Camus
Integrity has no need of rules.
Albert Camus
Men are never really willing to die except for the sake of freedom: therefore they do not believe in dying completely.
Albert Camus
Where there is no hope, we must invent it.
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
Those who write clearly have readers.
Albert Camus
I hadn't understood how days could be both long and short at the same time: long to live through, maybe, but so drawn out that they ended up flowing into one another. They lost their names. Only 'yesterday' and 'tomorrow' still had any meaning for me.
Albert Camus
We call first truths those we discover after all the others.
Albert Camus
I know of only one duty, and that is to love.
Albert Camus
Purely historical thought is therefore nihilistic: it wholeheartedly accepts the evil of history and in this way is opposed to rebellion.
Albert Camus
If pimps and thieves everywhere were always punished, honest people would all believe themselves always to be innocent.
Albert Camus
A single sentence will suffice for modern man. He fornicated and read the papers. After that vigorous definition, the subject will be, if I may say so, exhausted.
Albert Camus
The danger of lectures is that they create the illusion of teaching for teachers, and the illusion of learning for learners.
Albert Camus
After awhile you could get used to anything.
Albert Camus
I do not want to found anything on the incomprehensible. I want to know whether I can live with what I know and with that alone.
Albert Camus
