More quotes by Albert Camus

Image
I've seen of enough of people who die for an idea. I don't believe in heroism I know it's easy and I've learned it can be murderous. What interests me is living and dying for what one loves.
Albert Camus
Image
No doubt our love was still there, but quite simply it was unusable, heavy to carry, inert inside of us, sterile as crime or condemnation. It was no longer anything except a patience with no future and a stubborn wait.
Albert Camus
Image
God is not necessary to create culpability, or to punish. Our fellow men are enough for that, helped by ourselves.
Albert Camus
Image
In our society, any man who doesn't cry at his mother's funeral is liable to be condemned to death.
Albert Camus
Image
True debauchery is liberating because it creates no obligations. In it you possess only yourself, hence it remains the favorite pastime of the great lovers of their own person.
Albert Camus
Image
Nature is a burning and frigid, transparent and limited universe in which nothing is possible but everything is given.
Albert Camus
Image
She was wearing a pair of my pajamas with the sleeves rolled up. When she laughed I wanted her again. A minute later she asked me if I loved her. I told her it didn't mean anything but that I didn't think so. She looked sad. But as we were fixing lunch, and for no apparent reason, she laughed in such a way that I kissed her.
Albert Camus
Image
In normal times all of us know, whether consciously or not, that there is no love which can't be bettered nevertheless, we reconcile ourselves more or less easily to the fact that ours has never risen above the average.
Albert Camus
Image
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
Image
Men who have greatness within them don't go in for politics.
Albert Camus
Image
Most men are like me. They cannot live in a universe where the most bizarre thought can in one second enter into the realm of reality--where, most often, it does enter, like a knife in a heart.
Albert Camus
Image
We have to live and let live in order to create what we are.
Albert Camus
Image
True artists scorn nothing.
Albert Camus
Image
There is no frontier between being and appearing.
Albert Camus
Image
Il y a dans les hommes plus de choses a' admirer que de choses a' me priser. There are more things to admire in people than to despise.
Albert Camus
Image
I was born poor and without religion, under a happy sky, feeling harmony, not hostility, in nature. I began not by feeling torn, but in plenitude.
Albert Camus
Image
Can one be a saint if God does not exist? That is the only concrete problem I know of today.
Albert Camus
Image
But, you know, I feel more fellowship with the defeated than with saints. Heroism and sanctity don't really appeal to me, I imagine. What interests me is being a man.
Albert Camus
Image
Cruel irony, the poor man tormented with hunger feeds those who plead his case.
Albert Camus
Image
Nothing in life is worth, turning your back on, if you love it.
Albert Camus
