More quotes by Albert Camus
Life can be magnificent and overwhelming -- that is the whole tragedy. Without beauty, love, or danger it would almost be easy to live.
Albert Camus
There are plagues, and there are victims, and it's the duty of good men not to join forces with the plagues.
Albert Camus
A man is more a man through the things he keeps to himself than through those he says.
Albert Camus
Thus I draw from the absurd three consequences, which are my revolt, my freedom, and my passion. By the mere activity of consciousness I transform into a rule of life what was an invitation to death—and I refuse suicide.
Albert Camus
Violence is both unavoidable and unjustifiable.
Albert Camus
All that remains is a fate whose outcome alone is fatal. Outside of that single fatality of death, everything, joy or happiness, is liberty. A world remains of which man is the sole master. What bound him was the illusion of another world.
Albert Camus
Accepting the absurdity of everything around us is one step, a necessary experience: it should not become a dead end. It arouses a revolt that can become fruitful
Albert Camus
So all a man could win in the conflict between plague and life was knowledge and memories.
Albert Camus
When you have once seen the glow of happiness on the face of a beloved person, you know that a man can have no vocation but to awaken that light on the faces surrounding him. In the depth of winter, I finally learned that within me there lay an invincible summer.
Albert Camus
Every artist preserves deep within him a single source from which, throughout his lifetime, he draws what he is, and what he says. When the source dries up, the work withers and crumbles.
Albert Camus
But what are a hundred million deaths? When one has served in a war, one hardly knows what a dead man is, after a while. And since a dead man has no substance unless one has actually seen him dead, a hundred million corpses broadcast through history are no more than a puff of smoke in the imagination.
Albert Camus
We rarely confide in those who are better than we are.
Albert Camus
We get into the habit of living before acquiring the habit of thinking.
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
In this vast country that he had so loved, he was alone.
Albert Camus
Human relationships always help us to carry on because they always presuppose a future.
Albert Camus
Rule: Start by looking for what is valid in every man.
Albert Camus
Give up the tyranny of female charm.
Albert Camus
To abandon oneself to principles is really to die - and to die for an impossible love which is the contrary of love.
Albert Camus
To be born to create, to love, to win at games is to be born to live in time of peace. But war teaches us to lose everything and become what we were not. It all becomes a question of style.
Albert Camus
