More quotes by Albert Camus
Imagination offers people consolation for what they cannot be, and humor for what they actually are.
Albert Camus
When I see a new face, something sets off an alarm bell inside me. 'slow down! Danger!' Even when the attraction is strongest, I am on my guard.
Albert Camus
The absurd hero's refusal to hope becomes his singular ability to live in the present with passion.
Albert Camus
Yes, I know what passion would fill me with all its power. Before, I was too young. I got in the way. Now I know that acting and loving and suffering is living, of course, but it’s only living insofar as you can be transparent and accept your fate, like the unique reflection of a rainbow of joys and passions which is the same for everyone.
Albert Camus
There is no fate that cannot be surmounted by scorn.
Albert Camus
Find your happiness in yourself.
Albert Camus
Rebellion cannot exist without the feeling that somewhere, in some way, you are justified.
Albert Camus
If the only significant history of human thought were to be written, it would have to be the history of its successive regrets and its impotences.
Albert Camus
Love cannot accept what it is. Everywhere on earth it cries out against kindness, compassion, intelligence, everything that leads to compromise. Love demands the impossible, the absolute, the sky on fire, inexhaustible springtime, life after death, and death itself transfigured into eternal life.
Albert Camus
Every great work makes the human face more admirable and richer, and this is its whole secret.
Albert Camus
Life is the sum of your choices.
Albert Camus
Greatness consists in trying to be great. There is no other way.
Albert Camus
Death means nothing to men like me. It's the event that proves them right.
Albert Camus
I explained to him, however, that my nature was such that my physical needs often got in the way of my feelings.
Albert Camus
Wandering seemed no more than the happiness of an anxious man.
Albert Camus
What is called a reason for living is also an excellent reason for dying.
Albert Camus
From the moment absurdity is recognized, it becomes a passion, the most harrowing of all. But whether or not one can live with one's passions, whether or not one can accept their law, which is to burn the heart they simultaneously exalt - that is the whole question.
Albert Camus
There is but one truly serious philosophical problem and that is suicide.
Albert Camus
Youth is above all a collection of possibilities.
Albert Camus
He seemed so certain about everything, didn't he? And yet none of his certainties was worth one hair of a woman's head. He wasn't even sure he was alive, because he was living like a dead man.
Albert Camus
