More quotes by Albert Camus
From the moment absurdity is recognized, it becomes a passion, the most harrowing of all. But whether or not one can live with one's passions, whether or not one can accept their law, which is to burn the heart they simultaneously exalt - that is the whole question.
Albert Camus
Have you no hope at all? And do you really live with the thought that when you die, you die, and nothing remains? Yes, I said.
Albert Camus
I have no idea what's awaiting me, or what will happen when this all ends. For the moment I know this: there are sick people and they need curing.
Albert Camus
Every authentic work of art is a gift offered to the future.
Albert Camus
There is nothing abstract about pain. It is specific, it is real, and, when it is intense, it is world destroying.
Albert Camus
People believe a man is in distress because his loved one dies in one day. But his real pain is less futile: it is that he finds out that sadness too does not last. Even pain has no meaning.
Albert Camus
Proof is never definitive, after all one has to begin again with each new person.
Albert Camus
There is only one class of men, the privileged class
Albert Camus
A man devoid of hope and conscious of being so has ceased to belong to the future.
Albert Camus
To write is to become disinterested. There is a certain renunciation in art.
Albert Camus
In Oran, as elsewhere, for want of time and thought, people have to love one another without knowing it.
Albert Camus
The look of success, when it is worn a certain way, would infuriate a jackass.
Albert Camus
Does the end justify the means? That is possible. But what will justify the end? To that question, which historical thought leaves pending, rebellion replies: the means.
Albert Camus
Some are created to love, while the others - to live.
Albert Camus
Finally, and most of all, words failed him.
Albert Camus
An intellectual? Yes. And never deny it. An intellectual is someone whose mind watches itself. I like this, because I am happy to be both halves, the watcher and the watched. Can they be brought together? This is a practical question. We must get down to it. I despise intelligence really means: I cannot bear my doubts.
Albert Camus
History only exists, in the final analysis, for God.
Albert Camus
I don't want to be a genius-I have enough problems just trying to be a man.
Albert Camus
Life should be lived to the point of tears
Albert Camus
There are people who vindicate the world, who help others live just by their presence.
Albert Camus
