More quotes by Albert Camus

Albert Camus
The absurd is the essential concept and the first truth.
Albert Camus
The soul of a murderer is blind
Albert Camus
Ironic philosophies produce passionate works.
Albert Camus
Fiction is the lie through which we tell the truth.
Albert Camus
But when a man has had only four hours' sleep he isn't sentimental. He sees things as they are: that is to say, he sees them in the garish light of justice hideous, witless justice.
Albert Camus
And I too, felt ready to start life all over again. It was as if that great rush of anger had washed me clean, emptied me of hope, and, gazing up at the dark sky spangled with its signs and stars, for the first time, the first, I laid my heart open to the benign indifference of the universe.
Albert Camus
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
It is natural to give a clear view of the world after accepting the idea that it must be clear.
Albert Camus
Those who lack the courage will always find a philosophy to justify it.
Albert Camus
The mind's deepest desire, even in its most elaborate operations, parallels man's unconscious feeling in the face of his universe: it is an insistence upon familiarity, an appetite for clarity.
Albert Camus
Friendship is not so simple. It is hard to get and takes a long time, but when one ha it one cannot get rid of it, one has to face it.
Albert Camus
If Christianity is pessimistic as to man, it is optimistic as to human destiny. Well, I can say that, pessimistic as to human destiny, I am optimistic as to man.
Albert Camus
Liberty is dangerous.
Albert Camus
In a world that has ceased to believe in sin, the artist is responsible for the preaching.
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
But the world itself has no reason, and I can say so, I who have experienced it all, from the creation to the destruction.
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
There exists an obvious fact that seems utterly moral: namely, that a man is always prey to his truths. Once he has admitted them, he cannot free himself from them. One has to pay something. A man who has become conscious of the absurd is forever bound to it.
Albert Camus
I know simply that the sky will last longer than I.
Albert Camus
