More quotes by Albert Camus

Albert Camus
Ah! my friend, for whomever is alone, without a god and without a master, the weight of time is terrible. One must then choose a master, God being out of style.
Albert Camus
Camus himself described this work as 'an attempt to understand the time I live in'.
Albert Camus

Albert Camus
Myths are made for the imagination to breath life into them.
Albert Camus
Because there is nothing here than invites us to cherish unhappy lovers. Nothing is more vain than to die for love. What we ought to do is live.
Albert Camus
All that I know most surely about morality and obligations I owe to football.
Albert Camus
What the world expects of Christians is that Christians should speak out, loud and clear... in such a way that never a doubt, never the slightest doubt, could rise in the heart of the simplest man.
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
I realized people would soon forget me once I was dead. I couldn't even say that this was hard to stomach really, there's no idea to which one doesn't get acclimatized in time.
Albert Camus
Nothing in the world is worth turning one's back on what one loves.
Albert Camus
The struggle to the top alone will make a human heart SWELL.
Albert Camus
