More quotes by Albert Camus
We rarely confide in those who are better than we are.
Albert Camus
Yes, I know what passion would fill me with all its power. Before, I was too young. I got in the way. Now I know that acting and loving and suffering is living, of course, but it’s only living insofar as you can be transparent and accept your fate, like the unique reflection of a rainbow of joys and passions which is the same for everyone.
Albert Camus
Yes, I'm happy, in human terms.
Albert Camus
I have the loftiest idea, and the most passionate one, of art. Much too lofty to agree to subject it to anything. Much too passionate to want to divorce it from anything.
Albert Camus
The entire history of mankind is, in any case, nothing but a prolonged fight to the death for the conquest of universal prestige and absolute power.
Albert Camus
The slave begins by demanding justice and ends by wanting to wear a crown.
Albert Camus
A man devoid of hope and conscious of being so has ceased to belong to the future.
Albert Camus
I conceived at least one great love in my life, of which I was always the object.
Albert Camus
Sometimes, from beyond the skycrapers, the cry of a tugboat finds you in your insomnia, and you remember that this desert of iron and cement is an island.
Albert Camus
I knew that I had shattered the harmony of the day, the exceptional silence of a beach where I'd been happy. Then I fired four more times at the motionless body where the bullets lodged without leaving a trace. And it was like knocking four quick times on the door of unhappiness.
Albert Camus
I'd buy myself a cabin on the beach, I'd put some glue in my navel, and I'd stick a flag in there. Then I'd wait to see which way the wind was blowing.
Albert Camus
Great ideas come into the world as gently as doves.
Albert Camus
At one time or another all normal people have wished their loved ones were dead.
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
Death means nothing to men like me. It's the event that proves them right.
Albert Camus
Instead of killing and dying in order to produce the being that we are not, we have to live and let live in order to create what we are.
Albert Camus
Martyrs, my friend, have to choose between being forgotten, mocked or used. As for being understood - never.
Albert Camus
No matter how the sun shone, the sea held forth no more promises.
Albert Camus
If something is going to happen to me, I want to be there.
Albert Camus
In a world that has ceased to believe in sin, the artist is responsible for the preaching.
Albert Camus
