More quotes by Albert Camus
The harshest winter finds an invincible summer in us.
Albert Camus
But what are a hundred million deaths? When one has served in a war, one hardly knows what a dead man is, after a while. And since a dead man has no substance unless one has actually seen him dead, a hundred million corpses broadcast through history are no more than a puff of smoke in the imagination.
Albert Camus
I have no idea what's awaiting me, or what will happen when this all ends. For the moment I know this: there are sick people and they need curing.
Albert Camus
The world is unimportant and whoever recognizes this conquers his liberty.
Albert Camus
The desire for possession is insatiable, to such a point that it can survive even love itself. To love, therefore, is to sterilize the person one loves.
Albert Camus
There is no fate that cannot be surmounted by scorn.
Albert Camus
I like people who dream or talk to themselves interminably I like them, for they are double. They are here and elsewhere.
Albert Camus
But in the end one needs more courage to live than to kill himself.
Albert Camus
Existence is illusory and it is eternal.
Albert Camus
The more I accuse myself, the more right I have to judge you. Even better, I make you judge yourself, which comforts me the more.
Albert Camus
If the world were clear, art would not exist.
Albert Camus
To be famous, in fact, one has only to kill one's landlady.
Albert Camus
Freedom of the press is perhaps the freedom that has suffered the most from the gradual degradation of the idea of liberty.
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
Politics and the fate of mankind are formed by men without ideals and without greatness. Those who have greatness within them do not go in for politics.
Albert Camus
The entire history of mankind is, in any case, nothing but a prolonged fight to the death for the conquest of universal prestige and absolute power.
Albert Camus
The urge to revolt is one of the essential dimensions of human nature.
Albert Camus
It is in the thick of calamity that one gets hardened to the truth - in other words, to silence.
Albert Camus
It takes time to live. Like any work of art, life needs to be thought about.
Albert Camus
Mostly, I could tell, I made him feel uncomfortable. He didn't understand me, and he was sort of holding it against me. I felt the urge to reassure him that I was like everybody else, just like everybody else. But really there wasn't much point, and I gave up the idea out of laziness.
Albert Camus
