More quotes by Albert Camus
Thoughts of suicide have got me through many a bad night.
Albert Camus
Most men are like me. They cannot live in a universe where the most bizarre thought can in one second enter into the realm of reality--where, most often, it does enter, like a knife in a heart.
Albert Camus
Murder is terribly exhausting.
Albert Camus
This very heart which is mine will forever remain indefinable to me. Between the certainty I have of my existence and the content I try to give to that assurance, the gap will never be filled. Forever I shall be a stranger to myself.
Albert Camus
What is called a reason for living is also an excellent reason for dying.
Albert Camus
There's the risk of being loved...and that would keep me from being happy.
Albert Camus
Where there is no hope, we must invent it.
Albert Camus
There exists an obvious fact that seems utterly moral: namely, that a man is always prey to his truths. Once he has admitted them, he cannot free himself from them. One has to pay something. A man who has become conscious of the absurd is forever bound to it.
Albert Camus
Nobody realizes that some people expend tremendous energy merely to be normal.
Albert Camus
Your success and happiness are forgiven you only if you generously consent to share them. But to be happy it is essential not to be too concerned with others. Consequently, there is no escape. Happy and judged, or absolved and wretched.
Albert Camus
Every authentic work of art is a gift offered to the future.
Albert Camus
In order to exist, man must rebel, but rebellion must respect the limits that it discovers in itself - limits where minds meet, and in meeting, begin to exist.
Albert Camus
There are some individuals who have too strong a craving, a will, and a nostalgia for happiness ever to reach it. They always retain a bitter and passionate aftertaste, and that's the best they can hope for.
Albert Camus
The absurd has meaning only in so far as it is not agreed to.
Albert Camus
The truth is that nothing is less sensational than pestilence, and by reason of their very duration great misfortunes are monotonous.
Albert Camus
In order to exist just once in the world, it is necessary never again to exist.
Albert Camus
Thus, in a middle course between these heights and depths, they drifted through life rather than lived, the prey of aimless days and sterile memories, like wandering shadows that could have acquired substance only by consenting to root themselves in the solid earth of their distress.
Albert Camus
Here lives a free man. Nobody serves him.
Albert Camus
I have a very old and very faithful attachment for dogs. I like them because they always forgive.
Albert Camus
The absurd hero's refusal to hope becomes his singular ability to live in the present with passion.
Albert Camus
