More quotes by 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
We are all exceptional cases. We all want to appeal against something! Each of us insists on being innocent at all cost, even if he has to accuse the whole human race and heaven itself.
Albert Camus
Independence is earned by a few words of cheap confidence
Albert Camus
I have always felt I lived on the high seas, threatened, at the heart of a royal happiness.
Albert Camus
Man is an idea, and a precious small idea once he turns his back on love.
Albert Camus
More and more, when faced with the world of men, the only reaction is one of individualism. Man alone is an end unto himself. Everything one tries to do for the common good ends in failure.
Albert Camus
The certainty of a God giving meaning to life far surpasses in attractiveness the ability to behave badly with impunity. The choice would not be hard to make. But there is no choice and that is where the bitterness comes in. The absurd does not liberate it binds.
Albert Camus
At times I feel myself overtaken by an immense tenderness for these people around me who live in the same century.
Albert Camus
Great ideas come into the world as gently as doves.
Albert Camus
Somebody has to have the last word. If not, every argument could be opposed by another and we'd never be done with it.
Albert Camus
She was wearing a pair of my pajamas with the sleeves rolled up. When she laughed I wanted her again. A minute later she asked me if I loved her. I told her it didn't mean anything but that I didn't think so. She looked sad. But as we were fixing lunch, and for no apparent reason, she laughed in such a way that I kissed her.
Albert Camus
Men die and they are not happy.
Albert Camus
I love life - that’s my real weakness. I love it so much that I am incapable of imagining what is not life.
Albert Camus
We don't have the time to completely be ourselves. We only have the room to be happy.
Albert Camus
In the end, we would like not to be guilty while at the same time being dispensed of the effort of purifying ourselves. Not enough cynicism and not enough virtue.
Albert Camus
They hurt each other without wanting to, just because each represented to the others the cruel and demanding necessity of their lives.
Albert Camus
The absurd is lucid reason noting its limits.
Albert Camus
Great feelings take with them their own universe, splendid or abject.
Albert Camus
Camus himself described this work as 'an attempt to understand the time I live in'.
Albert Camus
We're going forward, but nothing changes.
Albert Camus
