More quotes by Albert Camus
You cannot create experience. You must undergo it.
Albert Camus
Outside of that single fatality of death, everything, joy or happiness, is liberty.
Albert Camus
I was born poor and without religion, under a happy sky, feeling harmony, not hostility, in nature. I began not by feeling torn, but in plenitude.
Albert Camus
Conscious of not being able to separate myself from my time, I have decided to become part of it.
Albert Camus
Every artist preserves deep within him a single source from which, throughout his lifetime, he draws what he is, and what he says. When the source dries up, the work withers and crumbles.
Albert Camus
Every authentic work of art is a gift offered to the future.
Albert Camus
The realization that life is absurd and cannot be an end, but only a beginning. This is a truth nearly all great minds have taken as their starting point. It is not this discovery that is interesting, but theconsequences and rules of action drawn from it.
Albert Camus
You will always win if you make an effort, no matter how much. However, if you failed it means you were too lazy.
Albert Camus

Albert Camus

Albert Camus

Albert Camus
Life is a sum of all your choices. So, what are you doing today?
Albert Camus
It takes time to live. Like any work of art, life needs to be thought about.
Albert Camus
There is merely bad luck in not being loved there is misfortune in not loving. All of us, today, are dying of this misfortune. For violence and hatred dry up the heart itself the long fight for justice exhausts the love that nevertheless gave birth to it.
Albert Camus
Man is the only creature that refuses to be what he is.
Albert Camus
I am too far away from what I love and my distance is without remedy.
Albert Camus
What gives value to travel is fear. It is a fact that, at a certain moment, when we are so far from our own country, we are seized by a vague fear and an instinctive desire to go back to the protection of old habits. I look upon it more as an occasion for testing.
Albert Camus
A guilty conscience needs to confess. A work of art is a confession.
Albert Camus
I felt as I hadn't felt for ages. I had a foolish desire to burst into tears. for the first time I'd realized how all these people loathed me.
Albert Camus
A true masterpiece does not tell everything.
Albert Camus
