More quotes by Albert Camus
I am not made for politics because I am incapable of wanting or accepting the death of the adversary.
Albert Camus
There is scarcely any passion without struggle.
Albert Camus
Why must one love rarely to love well?
Albert Camus
It is natural to give a clear view of the world after accepting the idea that it must be clear.
Albert Camus
There are causes worth dying for, but none worth killing for.
Albert Camus
Between history and the eternal I have chosen history because I like certainties. Of it, at least, I am certain, and how can I deny this force crushing me.
Albert Camus
The opposite of an idealist is too often a man without love.
Albert Camus
History only exists, in the final analysis, for God.
Albert Camus
Life is the sum of your choices.
Albert Camus
For if there is a sin against life, it consists perhaps not so much in despairing of life as in hoping for another life and in eluding the implacable grandeur of this life.
Albert Camus
I was always able to understand my friend who decided to quit smoking and who, through an effort of will, succeeded in doing so. One morning, he opened the newspaper, read that the first H- bomb had exploded, found out about the bomb's admirable effects and went straight to the tobacconist's.
Albert Camus
Yes, there was an element of abstraction and unreality in misfortune. But when an abstraction starts to kill you, you have to get to work on it.
Albert Camus
You have to be very rich or very poor to live without a trade.
Albert Camus
The loss of love is the loss of all rights, even though one had them all.
Albert Camus
A character is never the author who created him. It is quite likely, however, that an author may be all his characters simultaneously.
Albert Camus
All great deeds and all great thoughts have a ridiculous beginning. Great works are often born on a street corner or in a restaurant's revolving door.
Albert Camus
Life is meaningless, but worth living, provided you recognize it's meaningless.
Albert Camus
We spend our days in deliberating, and we end them without coming to any resolve.
Albert Camus
In every rebellion is to be found the metaphysical demand for unity, the impossibility of capturing it, and the construction of a substitute universe.
Albert Camus
Man stands face to face with the irrational. He feels within him his longing for happiness and for reason. The absurd is born of this confrontation between the human need and the unreasonable silence of the world.
Albert Camus
