More quotes by Albert Camus

Albert Camus
In our society, any man who doesn't cry at his mother's funeral is liable to be condemned to death.
Albert Camus
To know oneself, one should assert oneself.
Albert Camus
Ironic philosophies produce passionate works.
Albert Camus

Albert Camus
A guilty conscience needs to confess. A work of art is a confession.
Albert Camus
But what is happiness except the simple harmony between a man and the life he leads?
Albert Camus

Albert Camus
To begin with, poor people´s memory is less nourished than that of a rich it has fewer landmarks in space because they seldom leave the place where they live, and fewer reference points in time throughtout lives that are grey and featureless.
Albert Camus
In Italian museums are sometimes found little painted screens that the priest used to hold in front of the face of condemned men to hide the scaffold from them.
Albert Camus
Charm is a way of getting the answer 'Yes' without asking a clear question.
Albert Camus
There was a time when I didn’t at any minute have the slightest idea how I could reach the next one. Yes, one can wage war in this world, ape love, torture one’s fellow man, or merely say evil of one’s neighbour while knitting. But, in certain cases, carrying on, merely continuing, is superhuman.
Albert Camus
Freedom is the right to never have to lie.
Albert Camus
Men are convinced of your arguments, your sincerity, and the seriousness of your efforts only by your death.
Albert Camus
The absurd is the essential concept and the first truth.
Albert Camus
