A man's work is nothing but this slow trek to rediscover, through the detours of art, those two or three great and simple images in whose presence his heart first opened.

More quotes by Albert Camus
There is the good and the bad, the great and the low, the just and the unjust. I swear to you that all that will never change.
Albert Camus
Love cannot accept what it is. Everywhere on earth it cries out against kindness, compassion, intelligence, everything that leads to compromise. Love demands the impossible, the absolute, the sky on fire, inexhaustible springtime, life after death, and death itself transfigured into eternal life.
Albert Camus
The absurd is essentially a divorce. It lies in neither of the elements compared it is born of their confrontation.
Albert Camus
I hope the dogs don't bark tonight. I always think it's mine
Albert Camus
I was tormented by my desire for a woman ... I thought so much about a woman, about women, about all the ones I had known, about all the circumstances in which I had enjoyed them, that my cell would be filled with their faces and crowded with my desires.
Albert Camus
To live is to hurt others, and through others, to hurt oneself. Cruel earth! How can we manage not to touch anything? To find what ultimate exile?
Albert Camus
A liking for truth at any cost is a passion that spares nothing and that nothing resists. It's a vice, at times a comfort, or a selfishness.
Albert Camus
Rebellion cannot exist without the feeling that somewhere, in some way, you are justified.
Albert Camus
You will never be able to experience everything. So, please, do poetical justice to your soul and simply experience yourself.
Albert Camus
When a war breaks out, people say: It's too stupid it can't last long. But though a war may well be too stupid, that doesn't prevent its lasting. Stupidity has a knack of getting its way as we should see if we were not always so much wrapped up in ourselves.
Albert Camus
The act of love . . . is a confession. Selfishness screams aloud, vanity shows off, or else true generosity reveals itself.
Albert Camus
There is not one talent for living and another for creating. The same suffices for both. And one can be sure that the talent that could not produce but an artificial work could not sustain but a frivolous life.
Albert Camus
In the light, the earth remains our first and our last love. Our brothers are breathing under the same sky as we justice is a living thing. Now is born that strange joy which helps one live and die, and which we shall never again postpone to a later time.
Albert Camus
In order to speak about all and to all, one has to speak of what all know and of the reality common to us all. The sea, rains, necessity, desire, the struggle against death... these are things that unite us all.
Albert Camus
I grew up with the sea, and poverty for me was sumptuous then I lost the sea and found all luxuries gray and poverty unbearable.
Albert Camus
Don't believe your friends when they ask you to be honest with them. All they really want is to be maintained in the good opinion they have of themselves.
Albert Camus
It is not true that the heart wears out - but the body creates this illusion.
Albert Camus
For if I try to seize this self of which I feel sure, if I try to define and to summarize it, it is nothing but water slipping through my fingers.
Albert Camus
In order to exist just once in the world, it is necessary never again to exist.
Albert Camus
No matter what cause one defends, it will suffer permanent disgrace if one resorts to blind attacks on crowds of innocent people.
Albert Camus
