The need to be right is the sign of a vulgar mind.
Albert Camus
Image
Believe me, religions are on the wrong track the moment they moralize and fulminate commandments. God is not needed to create guilt or to punish. Our fellow men suffice, aided by ourselves.
Albert Camus
Image
The myth of unlimited production brings war in its train as inevitably as clouds announce a storm.
Albert Camus

Albert Camus
Image
Sometimes, carrying on, just carrying on, is the superhuman achievement.
Albert Camus
Image
It should be pointed out for our own guidance in the West that the continual signing of manifestoes and protests is one of the surest ways of undermining the efficacy and dignity of the intellectual. There exists a permanent blackmail that we all know and that we must have the often solitary courage to resist.
Albert Camus

He knew now that it was his own will to happiness which must make the next move. But if he was to do so, he realized that he must come to terms with time, that to have time was at once the most magnificent and the most dangerous of experiments. Idleness is fatal only to the mediocre.
Albert Camus

There is always a certain hour of the day and of the night when a man’s courage is at its lowest ebb, and it was that hour only that he feared.
Albert Camus
Image
Great ideas come into the world as gently as doves.
Albert Camus

Albert Camus
Image
It is not true that the heart wears out - but the body creates this illusion.
Albert Camus
Image
It is terrifying to see how easily, in certain people, all dignity collapses. Yet when you think about it, this is quite normal since they only maintain this dignity by constantly striving against their own nature.
Albert Camus
Image
I don’t know whether this world has a meaning that transcends it. But I know that I cannot know that meaning and that it is impossible for me just now to know it.
Albert Camus
Image
Real generosity toward the future lies in giving all to the present.
Albert Camus
Image
The only way to deal with an unfree world is to become so absolutely free that your very existence is an act of rebellion.
Albert Camus
Image
I conceived at least one great love in my life, of which I was always the object.
Albert Camus
Image
Beauty is unbearable, drives us to despair, offering us for a minute the glimpse of an eternity that we should like to stretch out over the whole of time.
Albert Camus
Image
I am too far away from what I love and my distance is without remedy.
Albert Camus
