More quotes by Albert Camus
It is not the world that is absurd, nor human thought: the absurd arises when the human need to understand meets the unreasonableness of the world, when 'my appetite for the absolute and for unity' meets 'the impossibility of reducing this world to a rational and reasonable principle.'
Albert Camus
Madness such as this, its like trying to stop a fire with the moisture from a kiss
Albert Camus

Albert Camus
That's love, giving everything, sacrificing all without hope of return.
Albert Camus
It was in Spain that [my generation] learned that one can be right and yet be beaten, that force can vanquish spirit, that there are times when courage is not its own recompense. It is this, doubtless, which explains why so many, the world over, feel the Spanish drama as a personal tragedy.
Albert Camus
There is scarcely any passion without struggle.
Albert Camus

Albert Camus
Tout re volutionnaire finit en oppresseur ou en he re tique. Every revolutionary ends as an oppressor or a heretic.
Albert Camus
The revolutionary government was required to become the government of the war.
Albert Camus
To me, art is not a solitary delight. It is a means of stirring the greatest number of men by providing them with a privileged image of our common joys and woes.
Albert Camus
Alas, after a certain age every man is responsible for his face.
Albert Camus
Happiness implied a choice, and within that choice a concerted will, a lucid desire.
Albert Camus
The important thing isn't the soundness or otherwise of the argument, but for it to make you think.
Albert Camus
To govern means to pillage, as everyone knows.
Albert Camus
Il y a dans les hommes plus de choses a' admirer que de choses a' me priser. There are more things to admire in people than to despise.
Albert Camus
Every artist preserves deep within him a single source from which, throughout his lifetime, he draws what he is, and what he says. When the source dries up, the work withers and crumbles.
Albert Camus
