More quotes by Albert Camus
History only exists, in the final analysis, for God.
Albert Camus
Likewise, every time somebody interjects to speak of my honesty there is someone who quivers inside me.
Albert Camus
We have to live and let live in order to create what we are.
Albert Camus
Fate is not in man but around him
Albert Camus
It's not the struggle that makes us artists, but Art that makes us struggle.
Albert Camus
We must stitch up what has been torn apart, render justice imaginable in the world which is so obviously unjust, make happiness meaningful for nations poisoned by the misery of this century. Naturally, it is a superhuman task. But tasks are called superhuman when men take a long time to complete them, that is all.
Albert Camus
Even when one sits in the prisoner's dock, it is interesting to hear talk about oneself.
Albert Camus
The world I live in is loathsome to me, but I feel one with the men who suffer in it
Albert Camus
Camus himself described this work as 'an attempt to understand the time I live in'.
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
What did it matter if he existed for two or for twenty years? Happiness was the fact that he had existed.
Albert Camus
Life is meaningless, but worth living, provided you recognize it's meaningless.
Albert Camus
Human relationships always help us to carry on because they always presuppose further developments, a future - and also because we live as if our only task was precisely to have relationships with other people.
Albert Camus
When I was young I asked more of people than they could give: everlasting friendship, endless feeling. Now I know to ask less of them than they can give: a straightforward companionship. And their feelings, their friendship, their generous actions seem in my eyes to be wholly miraculous: a consequence of grace alone.
Albert Camus
My life was lucky so that I met, I loved (and disappointed) only outstanding people.
Albert Camus
Of course, true love is exceptional - two or three times a century, more or less. The rest of the time there is vanity or boredom.
Albert Camus
Great feelings take with them their own universe, splendid or abject.
Albert Camus
Always there comes an hour when one is weary of one's work and devotion to duty, and all one craves for is a loved face, the warmth and wonder of a loving heart.
Albert Camus
What is a rebel? A man who says no: but whose refusal does not imply a renunciation.
Albert Camus
The absurd is a shadow cast over everything we do and even if we try to live life as if it has meaning as if there are reasons for doing things the absurd will linger in the back of our minds as a nagging doubt that perhaps there is no point.
Albert Camus
