More quotes by Albert Camus
Big tears of frustration and exhaustion were streaming down his cheeks. But because of all the wrinkles, they weren't dripping off. They spread out and ran together again, leaving a watery film over his ruined face.
Albert Camus
I am alive again, now that I can no longer stand to live.
Albert Camus
And it was like knocking four quick times on the door of unhappiness.
Albert Camus
Martyrs, my friend, have to choose between being forgotten, mocked or used. As for being understood - never.
Albert Camus
The more I produce, the less I am certain. On the road along which the artist walks, night falls ever more densely. Finally, he dies blind.
Albert Camus
Autumn is a second spring when every leaf is a flower.
Albert Camus
The day when I am no more than a writer I shall cease to be a writer.
Albert Camus
I realized people would soon forget me once I was dead. I couldn't even say that this was hard to stomach really, there's no idea to which one doesn't get acclimatized in time.
Albert Camus
[Many artists], even the greatest ones, are not sure of their own existence. So they search for proof, they judge, they condemn. It strengthens them, it is the beginnings of existence. They are alone!
Albert Camus
... one cannot be happy in exile or in oblivion. One cannot always be a stranger. I want to return to my homeland, make all my loved ones happy. I see no further than this.
Albert Camus
Rule: Start by looking for what is valid in every man.
Albert Camus
The primordial sea indefatigably repeats the same words and casts up the same astonished beings on the same sea-shore.
Albert Camus
I hadn't understood how days could be both long and short at the same time: long to live through, maybe, but so drawn out that they ended up flowing into one another. They lost their names. Only 'yesterday' and 'tomorrow' still had any meaning for me.
Albert Camus
I had only a little time left and I didn't want to waste it on God.
Albert Camus
I do not have much liking for the too famous existential philosophy, and, to tell the truth, I think its conclusions false.
Albert Camus
The only deep emotion I occasionally felt in these affairs was gratitude, when all was going well and I was left, not only peace, but freedom to come and go--never kinder and gayer with one woman than when I had just left another's bed, as if I extended to all others the debt I had just contracted toward one of them.
Albert Camus
Today we are always as ready to judge as we are to fornicate.
Albert Camus
Every act of rebellion expresses a nostalgia for innocence and an appeal to the essence of being.
Albert Camus
To govern means to pillage, as everyone knows.
Albert Camus
There is but one freedom, To put oneself right with death. After that everything is possible. I cannot force you to believe in God. Believing in God amounts to coming to terms with death. When you have accepted death, the problem of God will be solved, and not the reverse.
Albert Camus
