More quotes by Albert Camus
As for those whose role it is to love us - I mean, relatives and in-laws (what a word)- It's a different tune. They find the right word, but it's usually the one that wounds.
Albert Camus
The loss of love is the loss of all rights, even though one had them all.
Albert Camus
Working conditions for me have always been those of the monastic life: solitude and frugality. Except for frugality, they are contrary to my nature, so much so that work is a violence I do to myself.
Albert Camus
We turn toward God only to obtain the impossible.
Albert Camus
Have pity, Lord, on those who love and are separated.
Albert Camus
In the past, the poverty they shared had a certain sweetness about it. When the end of the day came and they would eat their dinner in silence with the oil lamp between them, there was a secret joy in such simplicity, such retrenchment.
Albert Camus
The world is unimportant and whoever recognizes this conquers his liberty.
Albert Camus
God put self-pity by the side of despair like the cure by the side of the disease.
Albert Camus
The great courage is to stare as squarely at the light as at death.
Albert Camus
In the depths of winter, I finally learned that within me there lay an invincible summer.
Albert Camus
Without culture, and the relative freedom it implies, society, even when perfect, is but a jungle. This is why any authentic creation is a gift to the future.
Albert Camus
In fact, other people create for lack of power. I, on the other hand, do not need a work: I live.
Albert Camus
Wandering seemed no more than the happiness of an anxious man.
Albert Camus
History has shown that the less people read, the more books they buy.
Albert Camus
Our reason has driven all away. Alone at last, we end up ruling over a desert.
Albert Camus
May heaven protect us, cher monsieur, from being set on a pedestal by our friends!!!
Albert Camus
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
To remain a man in today's world, one must have not only unfailing energy and unwavering intensity, one must also have a little luck.
Albert Camus
We are living in the era of premeditation and the perfect crime. Our criminals are no longer helpless children who could plead love as their excuse. On the contrary, they are adults and the have the perfect alibi: philosophy, which can be used for any purpose - even for transforming murderers into judges.
Albert Camus
Their guilt made me eloquent because I was not its victim.
Albert Camus
