More quotes by Albert Camus
Great novelists are philosopher novelists - that is, the contrary of thesis-writers.
Albert Camus
In the next few years the struggle will not be between utopia and reality, but between different utopias, each trying to impose itself on reality ... we can no longer hope to save everything, but ... we can at least try to save lives, so that some kind of future, if perhaps not the ideal one, will remain possible.
Albert Camus
Retaliation is related to nature and instinct, not to law. Law, by definition, cannot obey the same rules as nature.
Albert Camus
Virtue cannot separate itself from reality without becoming a principle of evil.
Albert Camus
But what does it mean, the plague? It's life, that's all.
Albert Camus
Where would his torture be, indeed, if at every step the hope of succeeding upheld him?
Albert Camus
People don't love each other at our age, Marthe—they please each other, that's all. Later on, when you're old and impotent, you can love someone. At our age, you just think you do. That's all it is.
Albert Camus
It is always easy to be logical. It is almost impossible to be logical to the bitter end.
Albert Camus
To lose one's life is no great matter when the time comes I'll have the courage to lose mine. But what's intolerable is to see one's life being drained of meaning, to be told there's no reason for existing. A man can't live without some reason for living.
Albert Camus
The modern mind is in complete disarray. Knowledge has stretched itself to the point where neither the world nor our intelligence can find any foot-hold. It is a fact that we are suffering from nihilism.
Albert Camus
We all carry within us places of exile, our crimes, our ravages. Our task is not to unleash them on the world it is to transform them in ourselves and others.
Albert Camus
The struggle itself towards the heights is enough to fill a man's heart. One must imagine Sisyphus happy.
Albert Camus
It takes time to live. Like any work of art, life needs to be thought about.
Albert Camus
The society based on production is only productive, not creative.
Albert Camus
Forever I shall be a stranger to myself. In psychology as in logic, there are truths but no truth.
Albert Camus
Believe me, the hardest thing for a man to give up is that which he really doesn't want, after all.
Albert Camus
Human relationships always help us to carry on because they always presuppose a future.
Albert Camus
... man has an idea of a better world than this. But better does not mean different, it means unified... Religion or crime, every human endeavor in fact, finally obeys this unreasonabledesire and claims to give life a form it does not have.
Albert Camus
Imagination offers people consolation for what they cannot be, and humor for what they actually are.
Albert Camus
The most exhausting effort in my life has been to suppress my own nature in order to make it serve my biggest plans.
Albert Camus
