Any country where I am not bored is a country that teaches me nothing.
Albert Camus
Where there is no hope, we must invent it.
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
Even when one sits in the prisoner's dock, it is interesting to hear talk about oneself.
Albert Camus
Politics and the fate of mankind are formed by men without ideals and without greatness. Those who have greatness within them do not go in for politics.
Albert Camus
I do not have much liking for the too famous existential philosophy, and, to tell the truth, I think its conclusions false.
Albert Camus
Murder is terribly exhausting.
Albert Camus
Rebellion cannot exist without the feeling that somewhere, in some way, you are justified.
Albert Camus
Having money is a way of being free of money.
Albert Camus
Metaphysical rebellion is a claim, motivated by the concept of a complete unity, against the suffering of life and death and a protest against the human condition both for its incompleteness, thanks to death, and its wastefulness, thanks to evil.
Albert Camus
When a war breaks out, people say: It's too stupid it can't last long. But though a war may well be too stupid, that doesn't prevent its lasting. Stupidity has a knack of getting its way as we should see if we were not always so much wrapped up in ourselves.
Albert Camus
Liberty is the right not to lie.
Albert Camus
History has shown that the less people read, the more books they buy.
Albert Camus
No matter how the sun shone, the sea held forth no more promises.
Albert Camus
A free press can, of course, be good or bad, but, most certainly without freedom, the press will never be anything but bad.
Albert Camus
A taste for truth at any cost is a passion which spares nothing.
Albert Camus
A man is more a man through the things he keeps to himself than through those he says.
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
... I suppose that it is not so easy to go home and it takes a bit of time to make a son out of a stranger.
Albert Camus
...Any authentic creation is a gift to the future.
Albert Camus
