More quotes by Albert Camus
Every revolutionary ends up either by becoming an oppressor or a heretic.
Albert Camus
There are more things to admire in men than to despise.
Albert Camus
The only deep emotion I occasionally felt in these affairs was gratitude, when all was going well and I was left, not only peace, but freedom to come and go--never kinder and gayer with one woman than when I had just left another's bed, as if I extended to all others the debt I had just contracted toward one of them.
Albert Camus
The only way to deal with an unfree world is to become so absolutely free that your very existence is an act of rebellion.
Albert Camus
God is not necessary to create culpability, or to punish. Our fellow men are enough for that, helped by ourselves.
Albert Camus
Integrity needs no rules.
Albert Camus
Nobody realizes that some people expend tremendous energy merely to be normal.
Albert Camus
I have never been able to renounce the light, the pleasure of being, and the freedom in which I grew up.
Albert Camus
Chacun exige d'e tre innocent, a' tout prix, me me si, pour cela, il faut accuser le genre humain et le ciel. Everyone insists on his or her innocence, at all costs, even if it means accusing the rest of the human race and heaven.
Albert Camus
The absurd depends as much on man as on the world. For the moment, it is all that links them together.
Albert Camus
In the midst of winter, I found there was, within me, an invincible summer. And that makes me happy. For it says that no matter how hard the world pushes against me, within me, there’s something stronger – something better, pushing right back.
Albert Camus
We must learn how to lend ourselves to dreaming when dreams lend themselves to us.
Albert Camus
The evil that is in the world always comes of ignorance, and good intentions may do as much harm as malevolence, if they lack understanding.
Albert Camus
What would become of the world if the condemned started to confide their heartaches to the executioners?
Albert Camus
There is nothing abstract about pain. It is specific, it is real, and, when it is intense, it is world destroying.
Albert Camus
To live is to hurt others, and through others, to hurt oneself. Cruel earth! How can we manage not to touch anything? To find what ultimate exile?
Albert Camus
Everyone would like to behave like a pagan, with everyone else behaving like a Christian.
Albert Camus
But in the end one needs more courage to live than to kill himself.
Albert Camus
... there are two types of happiness and I have chosen that of the murderers. For I am happy. There was a time when I thought I had reached the limit of distress. Beyond that limit, there is a sterile and magnificent happiness.
Albert Camus
The sense of doing good , the satisfaction of being right, the joy of looking favorably upon oneself, dear sir, are powerful levers for keeping us upright and making us progress. On the other hand, if men are deprived of that feeling, they are changed into rabid dogs.
Albert Camus
