More quotes by Albert Camus
We are all exceptional cases. We all want to appeal against something! Each of us insists on being innocent at all cost, even if he has to accuse the whole human race and heaven itself.
Albert Camus
A liking for truth at any cost is a passion that spares nothing and that nothing resists. It's a vice, at times a comfort, or a selfishness.
Albert Camus
When silence or tricks of language contribute to maintaining an abuse that must be reformed or a suffering that can be relieved, then there is no other solution but to speak out and show the obscenity hidden under the verbal cloak.
Albert Camus
Man stands face to face with the irrational. He feels within him his longing for happiness and for reason. The absurd is born of this confrontation between the human need and the unreasonable silence of the world.
Albert Camus
It is easier to kill what we do not know.
Albert Camus
how hard it must be to live only with what one knows and what one remembers, cut off from what one hopes for!
Albert Camus
There is only one class of men, the privileged class
Albert Camus
The laws of nature may be operative up to a certain limit, beyond which they turn against themselves to give birth to the absurd.
Albert Camus
And indeed it could be said that once the faintest stirring of hope became possible, the dominion of plague was ended.
Albert Camus
Give up the tyranny of female charm.
Albert Camus
I was always able to understand my friend who decided to quit smoking and who, through an effort of will, succeeded in doing so. One morning, he opened the newspaper, read that the first H- bomb had exploded, found out about the bomb's admirable effects and went straight to the tobacconist's.
Albert Camus
A nihilist is not one who believes in nothing , but one who does not believe in what exists.
Albert Camus
There may be responsible persons, but there are no guilty ones.
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
I felt the urge to reassure him that I was like everybody else, just like everybody else.
Albert Camus
... We need the sweet pain of anticipation to tell us we are really alive.
Albert Camus
If Nietzsche is correct, that to shame a man is to kill him, then any honest attempt at autobiography will be an act of self-destruction.
Albert Camus
Death means nothing to men like me. It's the event that proves them right.
Albert Camus
Liberty is the right not to lie.
Albert Camus
Art and revolt will die only with the last man.
Albert Camus
