More quotes by Albert Camus
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
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
To feel absolutely right is the beginning of the end.
Albert Camus
Seeking what is true is not seeking what is desirable.
Albert Camus
To write is to become disinterested. There is a certain renunciation in art.
Albert Camus
No cause justifies the deaths of innocent people.
Albert Camus
I have not stopped loving that which is sacred in this world.
Albert Camus
The urge to revolt is one of the essential dimensions of human nature.
Albert Camus
I opened myself to the gentle indifference of the world.
Albert Camus
The primordial sea indefatigably repeats the same words and casts up the same astonished beings on the same sea-shore.
Albert Camus
Culture: the cry of men in face of their destiny.
Albert Camus
Nihilism is not only despair and negation, but above all the desire to despair and to negate.
Albert Camus
People don't love each other at our age, Marthe—they please each other, that's all. Later on, when you're old and impotent, you can love someone. At our age, you just think you do. That's all it is.
Albert Camus
Fate is not in man but around him
Albert Camus
There is but one truly serious philosophical problem and that is suicide. Judging whether life is or is not worth living amounts to answering the fundamental question of philosophy. All the rest — whether or not the world has three dimensions, whether the mind has nine or twelve categories — comes afterwards. These are games one must first answer.
Albert Camus
Morality, when formal, devours.
Albert Camus
The words that reverberate for us at the confines of this long adventure of rebellion are not formulas for optimism, for which we have no possible use in the extremities of our unhappiness, but words of courage and intelligence which, on the shores of the eternal seas, even have the qualities of virtue.
Albert Camus
Because there is nothing here than invites us to cherish unhappy lovers. Nothing is more vain than to die for love. What we ought to do is live.
Albert Camus
The slave and those whose present life is miserable and who can find no consolation in the heavens are assured that at least the future belongs to them. The future is the only kind of property that the masters willingly concede to the slaves.
Albert Camus
The absurd depends as much on man as on the world. For the moment, it is all that links them together.
Albert Camus
