More quotes by Albert Camus
The truth is that nothing is less sensational than pestilence, and by reason of their very duration great misfortunes are monotonous.
Albert Camus
Our civilization survives in the complacency of cowardly or malignant minds -- a sacrifice to the vanity of aging adolescents
Albert Camus
But do you know why we are always more just and generous toward the dead? The reason is simple. With them there is no obligation. They leave us free and we can take our time, fit the testimonial between a cocktail party and a nice little mistress, in our spare time, in short.
Albert Camus
To lose one's life is no great matter when the time comes I'll have the courage to lose mine. But what's intolerable is to see one's life being drained of meaning, to be told there's no reason for existing. A man can't live without some reason for living.
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
The struggle itself towards the heights is enough to fill a man's heart. One must imagine Sisyphus happy.
Albert Camus
If, after all, men cannot always make history have a meaning, they can always act so that their own lives have one.
Albert Camus
I rebel therefore I exist.
Albert Camus
When the throne of God is overturned, the rebel realizes that it is now his own responsibility to create the justice, order, and unity that he sought in vain within his own condition, and in this way to justify the fall of God. Then begins the desperate effort to create, at the price of crime and murder if necessary, the dominion of man.
Albert Camus
Seeking what is true is not seeking what is desirable.
Albert Camus
May heaven protect us, cher monsieur, from being set on a pedestal by our friends!!!
Albert Camus
No matter how the sun shone, the sea held forth no more promises.
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
Life should be lived to the point of tears
Albert Camus
I don’t know whether this world has a meaning that transcends it. But I know that I cannot know that meaning and that it is impossible for me just now to know it.
Albert Camus
As for those whose role it is to love us - I mean, relatives and in-laws (what a word)- It's a different tune. They find the right word, but it's usually the one that wounds.
Albert Camus
He knew now that it was his own will to happiness which must make the next move. But if he was to do so, he realized that he must come to terms with time, that to have time was at once the most magnificent and the most dangerous of experiments. Idleness is fatal only to the mediocre.
Albert Camus
Some people talk in their sleep. Lecturers talk while other people sleep.
Albert Camus
People hasten to judge in order not to be judged themselves.
Albert Camus
The realization that life is absurd cannot be an end, but only a beginning.
Albert Camus
