More quotes by 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
If those whom we begin to love could know us as we were before meeting them they could perceive what they have made of us.
Albert Camus
It's a kind of spiritual snobbery that makes people think they can be happy without money.
Albert Camus
No longer were there individual destinies only a collective destiny, made of plague and emotions shared by all.
Albert Camus
Madness such as this, its like trying to stop a fire with the moisture from a kiss
Albert Camus
Rebellion cannot exist without a strange form of love.
Albert Camus
An achievement is a bondage. It obliges one to a higher achievement.
Albert Camus
Greatness consists in trying to be great. There is no other way.
Albert Camus
To be born to create, to love, to win at games is to be born to live in time of peace. But war teaches us to lose everything and become what we were not. It all becomes a question of style.
Albert Camus
What would become of the world if the condemned started to confide their heartaches to the executioners?
Albert Camus
O light! This the cry of all the characters of ancient drama brought face to face with their fate. This last resort was ours, too, and I knew it now. In the middle of winter I at last discovered that there was in me an invincible summer.
Albert Camus
I realized then that a man who had lived only one day could easily live for a hundred years in prison. He would have enough memories to keep him from being bored
Albert Camus
Truth is mysterious, elusive, always to be conquered. Liberty is dangerous, as hard to live with as it is elating. We must march toward these two goals, painfully but resolutely, certain in advance of our failings on so long a road.
Albert Camus
You will never live if you are looking for the meaning of life.
Albert Camus
With rebellion, awareness is born
Albert Camus
We continue to shape our personality all our life. If we knew ourselves perfectly, we should die.
Albert Camus
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
Creating is living doubly. The groping, anxious quest of a Proust, his meticulous collecting of flowers, of wallpapers, and of anxieties, signifies nothing else.
Albert Camus
I would rather live my life as if there is a God and die to find out there isn't, than live as if there isn't and to die to find out that there is.
Albert Camus
La ve rite , comme la lumie' re, aveugle. Le mensonge, au contraire, est un beau cre puscule qui met chaque objet en valeur. Truth, like light, blinds. A lie, on the contrary, is a beautiful twilight which shows the value of each object.
Albert Camus
