More quotes by Albert Camus
More and more, revolution has found itself delivered into the hands of its bureaucrats and doctrinaires on the one hand, and to the enfeebled and bewildered masses on the other.
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
In the end, we would like not to be guilty while at the same time being dispensed of the effort of purifying ourselves. Not enough cynicism and not enough virtue.
Albert Camus
There was the same dazzling red glare. The sea gasped for air with each shallow, stifled wave that broke on the sand. ...with every blade of light that flashed off the sand, from a bleached shell or a peice of broken glass, my jaws tightened. I walked for a long time.
Albert Camus
Over there, in Europe, all was shame and anger. Here it was exile or solitude, among these languid and agitated madmen who danced in order to die.
Albert Camus
I am too much in love with my lies and hypocrisies not to confess them fervently.
Albert Camus
Absurd- that is the light mind that establishes its own borders.
Albert Camus
Truth, like light is dazzling. By contrast, untruth is a beautiful sunset that enhances everything.
Albert Camus
I like these people swarming on the sidewalks, wedged into a little space of houses and canals, hemmed in by fogs, cold lands, and the sea streaming like a wet wash. I like them, for they are double. They are here and elsewhere.
Albert Camus
I feel more fellowship with the defeated than with saints.
Albert Camus
Some cry: 'Love me!!' Others: 'Don't love me!!' But a certain genus, the worst and most unhappy, cries: 'Don't love me and be faithful to me!!'
Albert Camus
I sometimes need to write things which I cannot completely control but which therefore prove that what is in me is stronger than I am.
Albert Camus
The first choice an artist makes is precisely to be an artist, and if he chooses to be an artist it is in consideration of what he is himself and because of a certain idea he has of art
Albert Camus
Art and revolt will die only with the last man.
Albert Camus
Believe me, the hardest thing for a man to give up is that which he really doesn't want, after all.
Albert Camus
Every stone here sweats with suffering, I know that. I have never looked at them without a feeling of anguish. But deep in my heart I know that the most wretched among you have seen a divine face emerge from their darkness. That is the face you are asked to see.
Albert Camus
Charm is a way of getting the answer 'Yes' without asking a clear question.
Albert Camus
In a universe suddenly divested of illusion and lights, man feels an alien, a stranger. His exile is without remedy since he is deprived of the memory of a lost home or the hope of a promised land.
Albert Camus
Man is the only creature that refuses to be what he is.
Albert Camus
the one who doesnt play, doesnt win anything, but he actually looses somehting, {playing}
