More quotes by 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
but perhaps we should love what we cannot understand
Albert Camus
You know very well that I no longer think. I am far too intelligent for that.
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
There always comes a time when one must choose between contemplation and action. This is called becoming a man.
Albert Camus
Mother died today. Or maybe yesterday I can't be sure.
Albert Camus
Rule: Start by looking for what is valid in every man.
Albert Camus
He seemed so certain about everything, didn't he? And yet none of his certainties was worth one hair of a woman's head. He wasn't even sure he was alive, because he was living like a dead man.
Albert Camus
We have art in order not to die of life.
Albert Camus
Men and women consume one another rapidly in what is called the act of love, or else settle down to a mild habit of conjugality. We seldom find a mean between these two extremes.
Albert Camus
One might think, that a period which, within fifty years, uproots, enslaves or kills seventy million human beings, should only, and forthwith, be condemned. But also its guilt must be understood.
Albert Camus
One dies if necessary, one breaks rather than bending. But I bend, because I continue to love myself.
Albert Camus
A character is never the author who created him. It is quite likely, however, that an author may be all his characters simultaneously.
Albert Camus
There is no frontier between being and appearing.
Albert Camus
Still, obviously, one can't be sensible all the time.
Albert Camus
I felt that I had been happy and that I was happy again. For everything to be consummated, for me to feel less alone, I had only to wish that there be a large crowd of spectators the day of my execution and that they greet me with cries of hate.
Albert Camus
Life is a sum of all your choices. So, what are you doing today?
Albert Camus
Poor and free rather than rich and enslaved. Of course, men want to be both rich and free, and this is what leads them at times to be poor and enslaved.
Albert Camus
We're all special cases.
Albert Camus
But sometimes it takes more courage to live than to shoot yourself.
Albert Camus
