More quotes by Albert Camus
On the ridge where the great artist moves forward, every step is an adventure, an extreme risk. In that risk, however, and only there, lays the freedom of Art.
Albert Camus
He who despairs of the human condition is a coward, but he who has hope for it is a fool.
Albert Camus
I know simply that the sky will last longer than I.
Albert Camus
Rebellion cannot exist without the feeling that somewhere, in some way, you are justified.
Albert Camus
In order to speak about all and to all, one has to speak of what all know and of the reality common to us all. The sea, rains, necessity, desire, the struggle against death... these are things that unite us all.
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
... 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
Mistakes are joyful, truth infernal.
Albert Camus
The Byronic hero, incapable of love, or capable only of an impossible love, suffers endlessly. He is solitary, languid, his condition exhausts him. If he wants to feel alive, it must be in the terrible exaltation of a brief and destructive action.
Albert Camus
Ah, mon cher, for anyone who is alone, without God and without a master, the weight of days is dreadful.
Albert Camus
One grows out of pity when it's useless.
Albert Camus
Nihilism is not only despair and negation, but above all the desire to despair and to negate.
Albert Camus
I should like to be able to love my country and still love justice.
Albert Camus
Those who write clearly have readers.
Albert Camus
Greatness consists in trying to be great. There is no other way.
Albert Camus
People believe a man is in distress because his loved one dies in one day. But his real pain is less futile: it is that he finds out that sadness too does not last. Even pain has no meaning.
Albert Camus
To live is in itself a value judgment. To breathe is to judge.
Albert Camus
Everything is true, and nothing is true!
Albert Camus
Old married people look so much alike that they have the same number of hairs in their ears.
Albert Camus
Yes, and when the love of life disappears, no meaning can console us.
Albert Camus
