More quotes by Albert Camus
The human heart has a tiresome tendency to label as fate only what crushes it. But happiness likewise, in its way, is without reason, since it is inevitable.
Albert Camus
In the world there is, parallel to the force of death and constraint, an enormous force of persuasion that is called culture.
Albert Camus
“To think the way you do,” he said smiling, “you have to be a man who lives either on a tremendous despair, or on a tremendous hope.” “On both, perhaps.”
Albert Camus
A taste for truth at any cost is a passion which spares nothing.
Albert Camus
And it was like knocking four quick times on the door of unhappiness.
Albert Camus
As soon as one does not kill oneself, one must keep silent about life.
Albert Camus

Albert Camus
Happiness is generous. It does not subsist on destruction.
Albert Camus

Albert Camus
I felt as though I was partly unlearning what i had never learned and yet knew so well: I mean, how to live.
Albert Camus
Art and revolt will die only with the last man.
Albert Camus
[Paris] is dirty. It has pigeons and black yards. The people have white skin.
Albert Camus
Man wants to live, but it is useless to hope that this desire will dictate all his actions.
Albert Camus
The society based on production is only productive, not creative.
Albert Camus
History has shown that the less people read, the more books they buy.
Albert Camus
I have never been able, really, to regret anything in all my life. I have always been far much too absorbed in the present moment or the immediate future to think back.
Albert Camus
