More quotes by Albert Camus
It is immoral not to tell.
Albert Camus
I have the loftiest idea, and the most passionate one, of art. Much too lofty to agree to subject it to anything. Much too passionate to want to divorce it from anything.
Albert Camus
Truth, like light, is blinding. Lies, on the other hand, are a beautiful dusk, which enhances the value of each object.
Albert Camus
Death means nothing to men like me. It's the event that proves them right.
Albert Camus
... unhappiness is like marriage. We believe we chose it, but then it is choosing us. That is how it is, we can do nothing about it.
Albert Camus
For what gives value to travel is fear. It breaks down a kind of inner structure we have. Travel robs us of such refuge. Far from our own people, our own language, stripped of all our props, deprived of our masks (one doesn't know the fare on the streetcars, or anything else), we are completely on the surface of ourselves.
Albert Camus
Wandering seemed no more than the happiness of an anxious man.
Albert Camus
A lot of jobs don't allow you to be who you are. There is dignity in work only when it is work freely accepted.
Albert Camus
Every stone here sweats with suffering, I know that. I have never looked at them without a feeling of anguish. But deep in my heart I know that the most wretched among you have seen a divine face emerge from their darkness. That is the face you are asked to see.
Albert Camus
Thus each of us had to be content to live only for the day, alone under the vast indifference of the sky.
Albert Camus
There are plagues, and there are victims, and it's the duty of good men not to join forces with the plagues.
Albert Camus
Psychology is action, not thinking about oneself.
Albert Camus
The temptation shared by all forms of intelligence: cynicism.
Albert Camus
A novel is never anything but a philosophy expressed in images. And in a good novel the philosophy has disappeared into the images.
Albert Camus
If man is reduced to being nothing but a character in history, he has no other choice but to subside into the sound and fury of acompletely irrational history or to endow history with the form of human reason.
Albert Camus
I like people who dream or talk to themselves interminably I like them, for they are double. They are here and elsewhere.
Albert Camus
The world is unimportant and whoever recognizes this conquers his liberty.
Albert Camus
I've seen of enough of people who die for an idea. I don't believe in heroism I know it's easy and I've learned it can be murderous. What interests me is living and dying for what one loves.
Albert Camus
Don't walk behind me I may not lead. Don't walk in front of me I may not follow. Just walk beside me and be my friend.
Albert Camus
A free press can, of course, be good or bad, but, most certainly without freedom, the press will never be anything but bad.
Albert Camus
