More quotes by Albert Camus

Image
He had been bored, that's all, bored like most people. Hence he had made himself out of whole cloth a life full of complications and drama. Something must happen - and that explains most human commitments. Something must happen, even loveless slavery, even war or death. Hurray then for funerals!
Albert Camus
Image
In every guilty man, there is some innocence. This makes every absolute condemnation revolting.
Albert Camus
Image
Every revolutionary ends up either by becoming an oppressor or a heretic.
Albert Camus
Image
Revolt and revolution both wind up at the same crossroads: the police, or folly.
Albert Camus
Image
The world is unimportant and whoever recognizes this conquers his liberty.
Albert Camus
Image
To create today is to create dangerously. Any publication is an act, and that act exposes one to the passions of an age that forgives nothing.
Albert Camus
Image
I do not believe in God and I am not an atheist.
Albert Camus
Image
There is but one freedom, To put oneself right with death. After that everything is possible. I cannot force you to believe in God. Believing in God amounts to coming to terms with death. When you have accepted death, the problem of God will be solved, and not the reverse.
Albert Camus
Image
Once crime was as solitary as a cry of protest now it is as universal as science. Yesterday it was put on trial today it determines the law.
Albert Camus
Image
The more I produce, the less I am certain. On the road along which the artist walks, night falls ever more densely. Finally, he dies blind.
Albert Camus
Image
We must stitch up what has been torn apart, render justice imaginable in the world which is so obviously unjust, make happiness meaningful for nations poisoned by the misery of this century. Naturally, it is a superhuman task. But tasks are called superhuman when men take a long time to complete them, that is all.
Albert Camus
Image
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
Image
Betrayal answers betrayal, the mask of love is answered by the disappearance of love.
Albert Camus
Image
Nihilism is not only despair and negation, but above all the desire to despair and to negate.
Albert Camus
Image
When love ceases to be tragic it is something else and the individual again throws himself in search of tragedy.
Albert Camus
Image
The loss of love is the loss of all rights, even though one had them all.
Albert Camus
Image
... unhappiness is like marriage. We believe we chose it, but then it is choosing us. That is how it is, we can do nothing about it.
Albert Camus
Image
Peace is the only battle worth waging.
Albert Camus
Image
Who taught you all this, doctor? The reply came promptly: Suffering.
Albert Camus
Image
I have a good, hearty laugh and an energetic handshake, and those are trump cards.
Albert Camus
