More quotes by Albert Camus
There is nothing abstract about pain. It is specific, it is real, and, when it is intense, it is world destroying.
Albert Camus
The truth, as the light, makes blind.
Albert Camus
There is a life and there is a death, and there are beauty and melancholy between.
Albert Camus
I want to know if I can live with what I know, and only than.
Albert Camus
I sometimes need to write things which I cannot completely control but which therefore prove that what is in me is stronger than I am.
Albert Camus
One of the only coherent philosophical positions is thus revolt. It is a constant confrontation between man and his own obscurity.
Albert Camus
In short, they were gambling on their luck, and luck is not to be coerced.
Albert Camus
The love of God is a hard love. It demands total self-surrender, disdain of our human personality. And yet it alone can reconcile us to suffering and the deaths of children, it alone can justify them, since we cannot understand them, and we can only make God's will ours.
Albert Camus
I explained to him, however, that my nature was such that my physical needs often got in the way of my feelings.
Albert Camus
The most loathsome materialism is not the kind people usually think of, but the sort that attempts to let dead ideas pass for living realities, diverting into sterile myths the stubborn and lucid attention we give to what we have within us that must forever die.
Albert Camus
We rarely confide in those who are better than we are.
Albert Camus
The tragedy is not that we are alone, but that we cannot be. At times I would give anything in the world to no longer be connected by anything to this universe of men.
Albert Camus
When one has no character, one HAS to apply a method. Here it did wonders incontrovertibly, and I am living on the site of one of the greatest crimes in human history.
Albert Camus
We have art in order not to die of life.
Albert Camus
[Liberty] is a choreand a long-distance race, quite solitary, quite exhausting.
Albert Camus
What I believe to be true I must therefore preserve. What seems to me so obvious, even against me, I must support.
Albert Camus
What, in fact, is a novel but a universe in which action is endowed with form, where final words are pronounced, where people possess one another completely, and where life assumes the aspect of destiny?
Albert Camus
I have never been able to renounce the light, the pleasure of being, and the freedom in which I grew up.
Albert Camus
Death means nothing to men like me. It's the event that proves them right.
Albert Camus
I don't want to represent man as he is, but only as he might be.
Albert Camus
