More quotes by Albert Camus
Outside of that single fatality of death, everything, joy or happiness, is liberty.
Albert Camus
If only nature is real and if, in nature, only desire and destruction are legitimate, then, in that all humanity does not suffice to assuage the thirst for blood, the path of destruction must lead to universal annihilation.
Albert Camus
Art and revolt will die only with the last man.
Albert Camus
We have to live and let live in order to create what we are.
Albert Camus
The first progressive step for a mind overwhelmed by the strangeness of things is to realize that this feeling of strangeness is shared with all men and that human reality, in its entirety, suffers from the distance which separates it from the rest of the universe.
Albert Camus
To remain a man in today's world, one must have not only unfailing energy and unwavering intensity, one must also have a little luck.
Albert Camus
What I believe to be true I must therefore preserve. What seems to me so obvious, even against me, I must support.
Albert Camus
For the absurd man, it is not a matter of explaining and solving, but of experiencing and describing. Everything begins with lucid indifference.
Albert Camus
On my way out I was even going to shake his hand, but I remembered just in time that I'd killed a man.
Albert Camus
Since we're all going to die, it's obvious that when and how don't matter.
Albert Camus
One grows out of pity when it's useless.
Albert Camus
I do not want to believe that death is the gateway to another life. For me, it is a closed door. I do not say it is a step we must all take, but that it is a horrible and dirty adventure.
Albert Camus
Sometimes, from beyond the skycrapers, the cry of a tugboat finds you in your insomnia, and you remember that this desert of iron and cement is an island.
Albert Camus
A man's work is nothing but this slow trek to rediscover, through the detours of art, those two or three great and simple images in whose presence his heart first opened.
Albert Camus
The absurd is lucid reason noting its limits.
Albert Camus
The work of art is born of the intelligence's refusal to reason the concrete. It marks the triumph of the carnal.
Albert Camus
In the world today, only a philosophy of eternity could justify non-violence.
Albert Camus
Like great works, deep feelings always mean more than they are conscious of saying.
Albert Camus
Thinking is learning all over again how to see, directing one's consciousness, making of every image a privileged place.
Albert Camus
Accept life, take it as it is? Stupid. The means of doing otherwise? Far from our having to take it, it is life that possesses us and on occasion shuts our mouths.
Albert Camus
