More quotes by Albert Camus
There is so much stubborn hope in the human heart.
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
[Paris] is dirty. It has pigeons and black yards. The people have white skin.
Albert Camus
It is not true that the heart wears out - but the body creates this illusion.
Albert Camus
I realized then that a man who had lived only one day could easily live for a hundred years in prison. He would have enough memories to keep him from being bored
Albert Camus
If one could only say just once: 'this is clear', all would be saved
Albert Camus
The French Revolution gave birth to no artists but only to a great journalist, Desmoulins, and to an under-the-counter writer, Sade. The only poet of the times was the guillotine.
Albert Camus
There is no love of life without despair of life.
Albert Camus
My dear friend, we mustn't give them even the slightest excuse to judge us! Otherwise, we end up in pieces.
Albert Camus
The absurd is a shadow cast over everything we do and even if we try to live life as if it has meaning as if there are reasons for doing things the absurd will linger in the back of our minds as a nagging doubt that perhaps there is no point.
Albert Camus
Happiness too is inevitable.
Albert Camus
There can be no question of masking the evidence, of suppressing the absurd by denying one of the terms of its equation. It is essential to know whether one can live with it or whether, on the other hand, logic commands one to die of it.
Albert Camus
I felt as I hadn't felt for ages. I had a foolish desire to burst into tears. for the first time I'd realized how all these people loathed me.
Albert Camus
In order to be created, a work of art must first make use of the dark forces of the soul
Albert Camus
To live is in itself a value judgment. To breathe is to judge.
Albert Camus
Real fulfillment, for the man who allows absolutely free rein to his desires, and who much dominate everything, lies in hatred.
Albert Camus
For the first time, the first, I laid my heart open to the benign indifference of the universe. To feel it so like myself, indeed so brotherly, made me realize that I'd been happy, and that I was happy still.
Albert Camus
Virtue cannot separate itself from reality without becoming a principle of evil.
Albert Camus
For there is merely bad luck in not being loved there is misfortune in not loving.
Albert Camus
Every revolutionary ends up either by becoming an oppressor or a heretic.
Albert Camus
