More quotes by Albert Camus
We are not certain, we are never certain. If we were we could reach some conclusions, and we could, at last, make others take us seriously.
Albert Camus
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
Rebellion, in man, is the refusal to be treated as an object and to be reduced to simple historical terms. It is the affirmation of a nature common to all men, which eludes the world of power.
Albert Camus
After awhile you could get used to anything.
Albert Camus
There can be no true goodness, nor true love, without the utmost clear-sightedness.
Albert Camus
It would be unjust, and moreover Utopian, for Shakespeare to direct the shoemakers' union. But it would be equally disastrous forthe shoemakers' union to ignore Shakespeare.
Albert Camus
Everyone would like to behave like a pagan, with everyone else behaving like a Christian.
Albert Camus
You will never be happy if you continue to search for what happiness consists of. You will never live if you are looking for the meaning of life.
Albert Camus
I'd buy myself a cabin on the beach, I'd put some glue in my navel, and I'd stick a flag in there. Then I'd wait to see which way the wind was blowing.
Albert Camus
Don't walk behind me I may not lead. Don't walk in front of me I may not follow. Just walk beside me and be my friend.
Albert Camus
Even when one sits in the prisoner's dock, it is interesting to hear talk about oneself.
Albert Camus
In every guilty man, there is some innocence. This makes every absolute condemnation revolting.
Albert Camus
Between history and the eternal I have chosen history because I like certainties. Of it, at least, I am certain, and how can I deny this force crushing me.
Albert Camus
The absurd is lucid reason noting its limits.
Albert Camus
There are people who vindicate the world, who help others live just by their presence.
Albert Camus
Each generation doubtless feels called upon to reform the world. Mine knows that it will not reform it, but its task is perhaps even greater. It consists in preventing the world from destroying itself.
Albert Camus
There is no fate that cannot be surmounted by scorn.
Albert Camus
There is no love of life without despair of life.
Albert Camus
Once one's up against it, the precise manner of one's death has obviously small importance.
Albert Camus
Of course, true love is exceptional - two or three times a century, more or less. The rest of the time there is vanity or boredom.
Albert Camus
