More quotes by Albert Camus
The society based on production is only productive, not creative.
Albert Camus
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
What’s true of all the evils in the world is true of plague as well. It helps men to rise above themselves.
Albert Camus
No human being, even the most passionately loved and passionately loving, is ever in our possession.
Albert Camus
Old married people look so much alike that they have the same number of hairs in their ears.
Albert Camus
The Byronic hero, incapable of love, or capable only of an impossible love, suffers endlessly. He is solitary, languid, his condition exhausts him. If he wants to feel alive, it must be in the terrible exaltation of a brief and destructive action.
Albert Camus
The opposite of an idealist is too often a man without love.
Albert Camus

Albert Camus
If you keep on excusing, you eventually give your blessing to the slave camp, to cowardly force, to organized executioners, to the cynicism of great political monsters you finally hand over your brothers.
Albert Camus
Basically, at the very bottom of life, which seduces us all, there is only absurdity, and more absurdity. And maybe that's what gives us our joy for living, because the only thing that can defeat absurdity is lucidity.
Albert Camus
An achievement is a bondage. It obliges one to a higher achievement.
Albert Camus
It is immoral not to tell.
Albert Camus
Instead of killing and dying in order to produce the being that we are not, we have to live and let live in order to create what we are.
Albert Camus
It was previously a question of finding out whether or not life had to have a meaning to be lived. It now becomes clear on the contrary that it will be lived all the better if it has no meaning
Albert Camus
More and more, when faced with the world of men, the only reaction is one of individualism. Man alone is an end unto himself. Everything one tries to do for the common good ends in failure.
Albert Camus
Too many have dispensed with generosity in order to practice charity.
Albert Camus
...Any authentic creation is a gift to the future.
Albert Camus
I grew up with the sea, and poverty for me was sumptuous then I lost the sea and found all luxuries gray and poverty unbearable.
Albert Camus
The absurd is essentially a divorce. It lies in neither of the elements compared it is born of their confrontation.
Albert Camus
Maman used to say that you can always find something to be happy about. In my prison, when the sky turned red and a new day slipped into my cell, I found out that she was right.
Albert Camus
