More quotes by Albert Camus
To think is first of all to create a world (or to limit one's own world, which comes to the same thing).
Albert Camus
Nihilism is not only despair and negation, but above all the desire to despair and to negate.
Albert Camus
In every guilty man, there is some innocence. This makes every absolute condemnation revolting.
Albert Camus
I always found misogyny vulgar and stupid, and I found almost all the women I have known to be my betters. However, placing them so high, I used them more often than I served them. How does one make sense of this?
Albert Camus
To grow old is to pass from passion to compassion.
Albert Camus
Everybody knows life isn't worth living.
Albert Camus
Without work all life goes rotten.
Albert Camus
A writer cannot put himself today in service of those who make history he is at the service of those who suffer it.
Albert Camus
Their guilt made me eloquent because I was not its victim.
Albert Camus
We turn our backs on nature we are ashamed of beauty. Our wretched tragedies have a smell of the office clinging to them, and the blood that trickles from them is the color of printer's ink.
Albert Camus
You have to be very rich or very poor to live without a trade.
Albert Camus
I cling like a miser to the freedom that disappears as soon as there is an excess of things.
Albert Camus
Stupidity has a knack of getting its way.
Albert Camus
There is the good and the bad, the great and the low, the just and the unjust. I swear to you that all that will never change.
Albert Camus
A guilty conscience needs to confess. A work of art is a confession.
Albert Camus
I am just coming out of five years of night, and this orgy of violent lights gives me for the first time the impression of a new continent. An enormous, 50-foot high Camel billboard : a GI with his mouth wide open blows enormous puffs of real smoke. So much bad taste hardly seems imaginable.
Albert Camus
A trial cannot be conducted by announcing the general culpability of a civilization. Only the actual deeds which, at least, stank in the nostrils of the entire world were brought to judgment.
Albert Camus
... one cannot be happy in exile or in oblivion. One cannot always be a stranger. I want to return to my homeland, make all my loved ones happy. I see no further than this.
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
Still, obviously, one can't be sensible all the time.
Albert Camus
