More quotes by Albert Camus
Here lives a free man. Nobody serves him.
Albert Camus
life is a story and god is author.life is absurd.I think so.
Albert Camus
The absurd is a shadow cast over everything we do and even if we try to live life as if it has meaning as if there are reasons for doing things the absurd will linger in the back of our minds as a nagging doubt that perhaps there is no point.
Albert Camus
In that night alive with signs and stars, I opened myself to the gentle indifference of the world. Finding it so much like myself--like a brother, really--I felt that I had been happy and that I was happy again.
Albert Camus
People have played on words and pretended to believe that refusing to grant a meaning to life necessarily leads to declaring that it is not worth living. In truth, there is no necessary common measure between these two judgments.
Albert Camus
Life can be magnificent and overwhelming -- that is the whole tragedy. Without beauty, love, or danger it would almost be easy to live.
Albert Camus
True debauchery is liberating because it creates no obligations. In it you possess only yourself, hence it remains the favorite pastime of the great lovers of their own person.
Albert Camus
Only he who is uncompromising as to his rights maintains the sense of duty.
Albert Camus
Forever I shall be a stranger to myself. In psychology as in logic, there are truths but no truth.
Albert Camus
I shall not, as far as I am concerned, try to pass myself off as a Christian in your presence. I share with you the same revulsion from evil. But I do not share your hope, and I continue to struggle against this universe in which children suffer and die.
Albert Camus
In art, rebellion is consummated and perpetuated in the act of real creation, not in criticism or commentary.
Albert Camus
A régime [Nazism] which invented a biological foreign policy was obviously acting against its own best interests. But at least it obeyed its own particular logic.
Albert Camus
The realization that life is absurd and cannot be an end, but only a beginning. This is a truth nearly all great minds have taken as their starting point. It is not this discovery that is interesting, but theconsequences and rules of action drawn from it.
Albert Camus
Something must happen that is the reason for most human relationships. Something must happen even servitude in love, in war, ordeath.
Albert Camus
“To think the way you do,” he said smiling, “you have to be a man who lives either on a tremendous despair, or on a tremendous hope.” “On both, perhaps.”
Albert Camus
What made me run away was doubtless not so much the fear of settling down, but of settling down permanently in something ugly.
Albert Camus
As a remedy to life in society I would suggest the big city. Nowadays, it is the only desert within our means.
Albert Camus
It is natural to give a clear view of the world after accepting the idea that it must be clear.
Albert Camus
You know very well that I no longer think. I am far too intelligent for that.
Albert Camus
I have always thought it would be easier to redeem a man steeped in vice and crime than a greedy, narrow-minded, pitiless merchant.
Albert Camus
