More quotes by Albert Camus
To live is in itself a value judgment. To breathe is to judge.
Albert Camus
Those who write clearly have readers.
Albert Camus
All I maintain is that on this earth there are pestilences and there are victims, and it's up to us, so far as possible, not to join forces with the pestilences. That may sound simple to the point of childishness I can't judge if it's simple, but I know it's true.
Albert Camus
Like great works, deep feelings always mean more than they are conscious of saying.
Albert Camus
If, after all, men cannot always make history have a meaning, they can always act so that their own lives have one.
Albert Camus
Yes, and when the love of life disappears, no meaning can console us.
Albert Camus
At the heart of all beauty lies something inhuman, and these hills, the softness of the sky, the outline of these trees at this very minute lose the illusory meaning with which we had clothed them, henceforth more remote than a lost paradise . . . that denseness and that strangeness of the world is absurd.
Albert Camus
Today we are always as ready to judge as we are to fornicate.
Albert Camus
... man has an idea of a better world than this. But better does not mean different, it means unified... Religion or crime, every human endeavor in fact, finally obeys this unreasonabledesire and claims to give life a form it does not have.
Albert Camus
Morality, when formal, devours.
Albert Camus
We turn our backs on nature we are ashamed of beauty. Our wretched tragedies have a smell of the office clinging to them, and the blood that trickles from them is the color of printer's ink.
Albert Camus
The realization that life is absurd cannot be an end, but only a beginning.
Albert Camus
Greatness consists in trying to be great. There is no other way.
Albert Camus
No human being, even the most passionately loved and passionately loving, is ever in our possession.
Albert Camus
Crime too is a form of solitude, even if one thousand get together to commit it. And it is right for me to die alone, after having lived and killed alone.
Albert Camus
I would rather live my life as if there is a God and die to find out there isn't, than live as if there isn't and to die to find out that there is.
Albert Camus
To be happy, we must not be too concerned with others.
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
To begin with, poor people´s memory is less nourished than that of a rich it has fewer landmarks in space because they seldom leave the place where they live, and fewer reference points in time throughtout lives that are grey and featureless.
Albert Camus
In order to exist, man must rebel.
Albert Camus
