More quotes by Albert Camus
I knew a pure heart who refused tot be mistrustful.... He had written at his doorstep: From wherever you are, enter and be welcome. Who do you think responded to this lovely invitation? The militia, who made themselves at home and gutted him.
Albert Camus
Old women even forget how to love their sons. The heart gets worn out, Monsieur.
Albert Camus
The purpose of a writer is to keep civilization from destroying itself.
Albert Camus
I have never been able, really, to regret anything in all my life. I have always been far much too absorbed in the present moment or the immediate future to think back.
Albert Camus
All that remains is a fate whose outcome alone is fatal. Outside of that single fatality of death, everything, joy or happiness, is liberty. A world remains of which man is the sole master. What bound him was the illusion of another world.
Albert Camus
It is a well-known fact that we always recognize our homeland at the moment we are about to lose it.
Albert Camus
What, in fact, is a novel but a universe in which action is endowed with form, where final words are pronounced, where people possess one another completely, and where life assumes the aspect of destiny?
Albert Camus
Proof is never definitive, after all one has to begin again with each new person.
Albert Camus
To two men living the same number of years, the world always provides the same sum of experiences. It is up to us to be conscious of them.
Albert Camus
Don't wait for the last judgment - it takes place every day.
Albert Camus
Man is the only creature that refuses to be what he is.
Albert Camus
Camus himself described this work as 'an attempt to understand the time I live in'.
Albert Camus
I conceived at least one great love in my life, of which I was always the object.
Albert Camus
We rarely confide in those who are better than we are.
Albert Camus
We are living in the era of premeditation and the perfect crime. Our criminals are no longer helpless children who could plead love as their excuse. On the contrary, they are adults and the have the perfect alibi: philosophy, which can be used for any purpose - even for transforming murderers into judges.
Albert Camus
There are causes worth dying for, but none worth killing for.
Albert Camus
Likewise and during every day of an unillustrious life, time carries us. But a moment always comes when we have to carry it.
Albert Camus
Rebellion, in man, is the refusal to be treated as an object and to be reduced to simple historical terms. It is the affirmation of a nature common to all men, which eludes the world of power.
Albert Camus
For there is merely bad luck in not being loved there is misfortune in not loving.
Albert Camus
Everything is true, and nothing is true!
Albert Camus
