More quotes by Albert Camus
The principles which men give to themselves end by overwhelming their noblest intentions.
Albert Camus
It is natural to give a clear view of the world after accepting the idea that it must be clear.
Albert Camus
At the heart of all beauty lies something inhuman, and these hills, the softness of the sky, the outline of these trees at this very minute lose the illusory meaning with which we had clothed them, henceforth more remote than a lost paradise . . . that denseness and that strangeness of the world is absurd.
Albert Camus
I was comfortable in all, I admit, but at the same time, nothing satisfied me. Each joy made me seek another.
Albert Camus
In our well-policed society we recognize that an illness is serious from the fact that we don't dare speak of it directly.
Albert Camus
You cannot acquire experience by making experiments. You cannot create experience. You must undergo it.
Albert Camus
True debauchery is liberating because it creates no obligations. In it you possess only yourself, hence it remains the favorite pastime of the great lovers of their own person.
Albert Camus
They hurt each other without wanting to, just because each represented to the others the cruel and demanding necessity of their lives.
Albert Camus
In our wildest aberrations we dream of an equilibrium we have left behind and which we naively expect to find at the end of our errors. Childish presumption which justifies the fact that child-nations, inheriting our follies, are now directing our history.
Albert Camus
Alas, after a certain age every man is responsible for his face.
Albert Camus
The contradiction is this: man rejects the world as it is, without accepting the necessity of escaping it. In fact, men cling to the world and by far the majority do not want to abandon it.
Albert Camus
They came to know the incorrigible sorrow of all prisoners and exiles, which is to live in company with a memory that serves no purpose.
Albert Camus
At one time or another all normal people have wished their loved ones were dead.
Albert Camus
We have art in order not to die of life.
Albert Camus
Happiness is generous. It does not subsist on destruction.
Albert Camus
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
This world, such as it is, is not tolerable. Therefore I need the moon, or happiness, or immortality, I need something which is perhaps demented, but which is not of this world.
Albert Camus
The future is the only kind of property that the masters willingly concede to the slaves.
Albert Camus
What’s true of all the evils in the world is true of plague as well. It helps men to rise above themselves.
Albert Camus
Those who weep for the happy periods which they encounter in history acknowledge what they want not the alleviation but the silencing of misery.
Albert Camus
