More quotes by Albert Camus
Yes, there was an element of abstraction and unreality in misfortune. But when an abstraction starts to kill you, you have to get to work on it.
Albert Camus
I do not want to believe that death is the gateway to another life. For me, it is a closed door. I do not say it is a step we must all take, but that it is a horrible and dirty adventure.
Albert Camus
So the thing that bothered me most was that the condemned man had to hope the machine would work the first time.
Albert Camus
Sometimes, carrying on, just carrying on, is the superhuman achievement.
Albert Camus
Peace is the only battle worth waging.
Albert Camus
The end of their passion consists of loving uselessly at the moment when it is pointless.
Albert Camus
... I suppose that it is not so easy to go home and it takes a bit of time to make a son out of a stranger.
Albert Camus
Find your happiness in yourself.
Albert Camus
It is the job of thinking people not to be on the side of the executioners.
Albert Camus
There may be responsible persons, but there are no guilty ones.
Albert Camus
What on earth prompted you to take a hand in this? I don't know. My… my code of morals, perhaps. Your code of morals. What code, if I may ask? Comprehension.
Albert Camus
Every man needs slaves like he needs clean air. To rule is to breathe, is it not? And even the most disenfranchised get to breathe. The lowest on the social scale have their spouses or their children.
Albert Camus
Beginning to think is beginning to be undermined.
Albert Camus
A fate is not a punishment.
Albert Camus
For me, physical love has always been bound to an irresistible feeling of innocence and joy. Thus, I cannot love in tears but in exaltation.
Albert Camus
A trial cannot be conducted by announcing the general culpability of a civilization. Only the actual deeds which, at least, stank in the nostrils of the entire world were brought to judgment.
Albert Camus
I am too much in love with my lies and hypocrisies not to confess them fervently.
Albert Camus
We have to live and let live in order to create what we are.
Albert Camus
Every authentic work of art is a gift offered to the future.
Albert Camus
A liking for truth at any cost is a passion that spares nothing and that nothing resists. It's a vice, at times a comfort, or a selfishness.
Albert Camus
