More quotes by Albert Camus
There is no love of life without despair of life.
Albert Camus
The day of my arrest I was first put in a room where there were already several other prisoners, most of them Arabs. They laughed when they saw me. Then they asked what I was in for. I said I'd killed an Arab and they were all silent
Albert Camus
In our society, any man who doesn't cry at his mother's funeral is liable to be condemned to death.
Albert Camus
Judging whether life is or is not worth living amounts to answering the fundamental question of philosophy.
Albert Camus
The laws of nature may be operative up to a certain limit, beyond which they turn against themselves to give birth to the absurd.
Albert Camus
It is not true that the heart wears out - but the body creates this illusion.
Albert Camus
I do not have much liking for the too famous existential philosophy, and, to tell the truth, I think its conclusions false.
Albert Camus
On the ridge where the great artist moves forward, every step is an adventure, an extreme risk. In that risk, however, and only there, lays the freedom of Art.
Albert Camus
The truth is that everyone is bored, and devotes himself to cultivating habits.
Albert Camus
We [Raymond and Meursault] stared at each other without blinking, and everything came to a stop there between the sea, the sand, and the sun, and the double silence of the flute and the water. It was then that I realized that you could either shoot or not shoot.
Albert Camus
As for those whose role it is to love us - I mean, relatives and in-laws (what a word)- It's a different tune. They find the right word, but it's usually the one that wounds.
Albert Camus
At that time, I often thought that if I had had to live in the trunk of a dead tree, with nothing to do but look up at the sky flowing overhead, little by little I would have gotten used to it.
Albert Camus
One of the only coherent philosophical positions is thus revolt. It is a constant confrontation between man and his own obscurity.
Albert Camus
The reasoning is classic in its clarity. If God does not exist, Kirilov is god. If God does not exist, Kirilov must kill himself. Kirilov must therefore kill himself to become god. That logic is absurd, but it is what is needed.
Albert Camus
Old married people look so much alike that they have the same number of hairs in their ears.
Albert Camus
Again and again there comes a time in history when the man who dares to say that two and two make four is punished with death. (The Plague)
Albert Camus
Ironic philosophies produce passionate works.
Albert Camus
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
We do not know how to eliminate evil, but we do know how to feed some of the hungry and heal some of the infirmed.
Albert Camus
Beware of those who say: I know this too well to be able to express it. For if they cannot do so, this is because they don't know it or because out of laziness they stopped at the outer crust.
Albert Camus
