More quotes by Albert Camus
Human relationships always help us to carry on because they always presuppose a future.
Albert Camus
Why should it be essential to love rarely in order to love much?
Albert Camus
To assert in any case that a man must be absolutely cut off from society because he is absolutely evil amounts to saying that society is absolutely good, and no-one in his right mind will believe this today.
Albert Camus
I had only a little time left and I didn't want to waste it on God.
Albert Camus
There are more things to admire in men than to despise.
Albert Camus
But above all, in order to be, never try to seem.
Albert Camus
He was expressing his certainty that my appeal would be granted, but I was carrying the burden of a sin from which I had to free myself. According to him, human justice was nothing and divine justice was everything. I pointed out it was the former that had condemned me.
Albert Camus
The future is the only transcendental value for men without God.
Albert Camus
To write is to become disinterested. There is a certain renunciation in art.
Albert Camus
Have pity, Lord, on those who love and are separated.
Albert Camus
Freedom is not a reward or a decoration that is celebrated with champagne...Oh no! It's a...long distance race, quite solitary and very exhausting.
Albert Camus
There exists an obvious fact that seems utterly moral: namely, that a man is always prey to his truths. Once he has admitted them, he cannot free himself from them. One has to pay something. A man who has become conscious of the absurd is forever bound to it.
Albert Camus
That must be wonderful I have no idea of what it means.
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
Nihilism is not only despair and negation, but above all the desire to despair and to negate.
Albert Camus
I draw from the Absurd three consequences: my revolt, my liberty, my passion.
Albert Camus
Men die and they are not happy.
Albert Camus
The tragedy is not that we are alone, but that we cannot be. At times I would give anything in the world to no longer be connected by anything to this universe of men.
Albert Camus
I see many people die because they judge that life is not worth living. I see others paradoxically getting killed for the ideas or illusions that give them a reason for living (what is called a reason for living is also an excellent reason for dying). I therefore conclude that the meaning of life is the most urgent of questions.
Albert Camus
To be famous, in fact, one has only to kill one's landlady.
Albert Camus
