More quotes by Albert Camus
Mostly, I could tell, I made him feel uncomfortable. He didn't understand me, and he was sort of holding it against me. I felt the urge to reassure him that I was like everybody else, just like everybody else. But really there wasn't much point, and I gave up the idea out of laziness.
Albert Camus
One always has exaggerated ideas about what one doesn't know.
Albert Camus

Albert Camus

Albert Camus
Nothing in life is worth, turning your back on, if you love it.
Albert Camus
In order to exist, man must rebel.
Albert Camus
I used to advertise my loyalty and I don't believe there is a single person I loved that I didn't eventually betray.
Albert Camus
Liberty is the right not to lie.
Albert Camus
I opened myself to the gentle indifference of the world.
Albert Camus
... habit starts at the second crime. At the first one, something is ending.
Albert Camus
We are condemned to live together.
Albert Camus
She was waiting, but she didn't know for what. She was aware only of her solitude, and of the penetrating cold, and of a greater weight in the region of her heart.
Albert Camus
Peace is the only battle worth waging.
Albert Camus
The greatness of man lies in his decision to be stronger than his condition.
Albert Camus
Our civilization survives in the complacency of cowardly or malignant minds -- a sacrifice to the vanity of aging adolescents
Albert Camus
