And for all his life it would be kindness and love that made him cry, never pain or persecution, which on the contrary only reinforced his spirit and his resolution.

More quotes by Albert Camus
Liberty is dangerous.
Albert Camus
I understood, by dint of digging into my memories, that modesty helped me to shine, humility helped me to triumph and virtue to oppress.
Albert Camus
... man has an idea of a better world than this. But better does not mean different, it means unified... Religion or crime, every human endeavor in fact, finally obeys this unreasonabledesire and claims to give life a form it does not have.
Albert Camus
I like these people swarming on the sidewalks, wedged into a little space of houses and canals, hemmed in by fogs, cold lands, and the sea streaming like a wet wash. I like them, for they are double. They are here and elsewhere.
Albert Camus
There are people who vindicate the world, who help others live just by their presence.
Albert Camus
There may be responsible persons, but there are no guilty ones.
Albert Camus
The day when I am no more than a writer I shall cease to be a writer.
Albert Camus
... habit starts at the second crime. At the first one, something is ending.
Albert Camus
Nature is a burning and frigid, transparent and limited universe in which nothing is possible but everything is given.
Albert Camus
That's love, giving everything, sacrificing all without hope of return.
Albert Camus
We always deceive ourselves twice about the people we love - first to their advantage, then to their disadvantage.
Albert Camus
Men are never really willing to die except for the sake of freedom: therefore they do not believe in dying completely.
Albert Camus
I know that man is capable of great deeds. But if he isn't capable of great emotion, well, he leaves me cold.
Albert Camus
The evil that is in the world always comes of ignorance, and good intentions may do as much harm as malevolence, if they lack understanding.
Albert Camus
I am too much in love with my lies and hypocrisies not to confess them fervently.
Albert Camus
Martyrs, my friend, have to choose between being forgotten, mocked or used. As for being understood - never.
Albert Camus
By giving too much importance to fine actions one may end by paying an indirect but powerful tribute to evil, because in so doing one implies that such fine actions are only valuable because they are rare, and that malice or indifference are far more common motives in the actions of men.
Albert Camus
I continue to believe that this world has no ultimate meaning. But I know that something in it has a meaning and that is man, because he is the only creature to insist on having one
Albert Camus
Believe me, religions are on the wrong track the moment they moralize and fulminate commandments. God is not needed to create guilt or to punish. Our fellow men suffice, aided by ourselves.
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
