More quotes by Albert Camus
The only serious question in life is whether to kill yourself or not.
Albert Camus
To create is likewise to give a shape to one's fate
Albert Camus
Heroism is accessible. Happiness is more difficult.
Albert Camus
Nothing in life is worth, turning your back on, if you love it.
Albert Camus
It is not rebellion itself which is noble but the demands it makes upon us.
Albert Camus
The absurd is lucid reason noting its limits.
Albert Camus
I realized then that a man who had lived only one day could easily live for a hundred years in prison. He would have enough memories to keep him from being bored
Albert Camus
Artistic creation is a demand for unity and a rejection of the world.
Albert Camus
Always go too far, because that's where you'll find the truth
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
... man has an idea of a better world than this. But better does not mean different, it means unified... Religion or crime, every human endeavor in fact, finally obeys this unreasonabledesire and claims to give life a form it does not have.
Albert Camus
Human relationships always help us to carry on because they always presuppose a future.
Albert Camus
To stay or to go, it amounted to the same thing.
Albert Camus
The soul of a murderer is blind
Albert Camus
If the only significant history of human thought were to be written, it would have to be the history of its successive regrets and its impotences.
Albert Camus
I shall not, as far as I am concerned, try to pass myself off as a Christian in your presence. I share with you the same revulsion from evil. But I do not share your hope, and I continue to struggle against this universe in which children suffer and die.
Albert Camus
Why must one love rarely to love well?
Albert Camus
If it adapts itself to what the majority of our society wants, art will be a meaningless recreation.
Albert Camus
Do not be surprised. I do not like writers and I cannot stand their lies. They speak so as not to listen to themselves speak. If they did listen, they would know that they are nothing and then they would no longer be able to speak.
Albert Camus
Lying is not only saying what isn't true. It is also, in fact especially, saying more than is true and, in the case of the human heart, saying more than one feels. We all do it, every day, to make life simpler.
Albert Camus
