More quotes by Albert Camus

Albert Camus
We are not certain, we are never certain.
Albert Camus
When the body is sad, the heart languishes.
Albert Camus
Ce que je sais de la morale, c'est au football que je le dois. (I know of morality, it is football that I owe.)
Albert Camus
If the only significant history of human thought were to be written, it would have to be the history of its successive regrets and its impotences.
Albert Camus
Where there is no hope, it is incumbent on us to invent it.
Albert Camus
Here lives a free man. Nobody serves him.
Albert Camus
Life should be lived to the point of tears
Albert Camus

Albert Camus
The opposite of an idealist is too often a man without love.
Albert Camus

Albert Camus
In the past, the poverty they shared had a certain sweetness about it. When the end of the day came and they would eat their dinner in silence with the oil lamp between them, there was a secret joy in such simplicity, such retrenchment.
Albert Camus
He was conscious of the disastrous fact that love and desire must be expressed in the same way.
Albert Camus
Your success and happiness are forgiven you only if you generously consent to share them. But to be happy it is essential not to be too concerned with others. Consequently, there is no escape. Happy and judged, or absolved and wretched.
Albert Camus
Metaphysical rebellion is a claim, motivated by the concept of a complete unity, against the suffering of life and death and a protest against the human condition both for its incompleteness, thanks to death, and its wastefulness, thanks to evil.
Albert Camus
I've never really had much of an imagination. But still I would try to picture the exact moment when the beating of my heart would no longer be going on inside my head.
Albert Camus
Germany collapsed as a result of having engaged in a struggle for empire with the concepts of provincial politics.
Albert Camus
For a man who loves power, competition from the gods is annoying. I have done away with that. I have proven to these illusory godsthat a man, if he has the will, can practice, without any apprenticeship, their ridiculous trade.
Albert Camus
One grows out of pity when it's useless.
Albert Camus
