More quotes by Albert Camus
Where there is no hope, it is incumbent on us to invent it.
Albert Camus
A taste for truth at any cost is a passion which spares nothing.
Albert Camus
It should be pointed out for our own guidance in the West that the continual signing of manifestoes and protests is one of the surest ways of undermining the efficacy and dignity of the intellectual. There exists a permanent blackmail that we all know and that we must have the often solitary courage to resist.
Albert Camus
It is better for the intellectual not to talk all the time. To begin with, it would exhaust him, and, above all, it would keep him from thinking. He must create if he can, first and foremost, especially if his creation does not side-step the problems of his time.
Albert Camus
At the heart of all beauty lies something inhuman.
Albert Camus
The more I produce, the less I am certain. On the road along which the artist walks, night falls ever more densely. Finally, he dies blind.
Albert Camus
Mon cher ami, let's not give them any pretext, no matter how small, for judging us!!! Otherwise, we'll be left in shreds. We are forced to take the same precautions as the animal trainer. If, before going into the cage, he has the misfortune to cut himself while shaving, what a feast for the wild animals!!
Albert Camus
I enjoyed my own nature to the fullest, and we all know there lies happiness, although, to soothe one another mutually, we occasionally pretend to condemn such joys as selfishness.
Albert Camus
Art does not tolerate reason.
Albert Camus
The entire history of mankind is, in any case, nothing but a prolonged fight to the death for the conquest of universal prestige and absolute power.
Albert Camus
The urge to revolt is one of the essential dimensions of human nature.
Albert Camus
There is only one class of men, the privileged class
Albert Camus
The purpose of a writer is to keep civilization from destroying itself.
Albert Camus
Men cry because things are not what they ought to be.
Albert Camus
Utopia is that which is in contradiction with reality.
Albert Camus
Although it was the middle of winter, I finally realized that, within me, summer was inextinguishable.
Albert Camus
Artistic creation is a demand for unity and a rejection of the world.
Albert Camus
We rarely confide in those who are better than we are.
Albert Camus
It is normal to give away a little of one's life in order not to lose it all.
Albert Camus
You know very well that I no longer think. I am far too intelligent for that.
Albert Camus
