More quotes by Albert Camus
Intelligence in chains loses in lucidity what it gains in intensity.
Albert Camus
I lived with the only continuity, day to day, of the me-me-me.
Albert Camus
I know myself too well to believe in pure virtue.
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
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
To lose one's life is no great matter when the time comes I'll have the courage to lose mine. But what's intolerable is to see one's life being drained of meaning, to be told there's no reason for existing. A man can't live without some reason for living.
Albert Camus
This world, such as it is, is not tolerable. Therefore I need the moon, or happiness, or immortality, I need something which is perhaps demented, but which is not of this world.
Albert Camus
Am well. Thinking of you always. Love
Albert Camus
The absurd is essentially a divorce. It lies in neither of the elements compared it is born of their confrontation.
Albert Camus
What did it matter if he existed for two or for twenty years? Happiness was the fact that he had existed.
Albert Camus
On good days, if you trust life, life has to answer you.
Albert Camus
Happiness implied a choice, and within that choice a concerted will, a lucid desire.
Albert Camus
The act of love is a confession.
Albert Camus
I realized then that a man who had lived only one day could easily live for a hundred years in prison. He would have enough memories to keep him from being bored
Albert Camus
Old women even forget how to love their sons. The heart gets worn out, Monsieur.
Albert Camus
I feel more fellowship with the defeated than with saints.
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
The look of success, when it is worn a certain way, would infuriate a jackass.
Albert Camus
Don't wait for the last judgment - it takes place every day.
Albert Camus
I have a good, hearty laugh and an energetic handshake, and those are trump cards.
Albert Camus
