More quotes by Albert Camus
This divorce between man and his life, the actor and his setting, is properly the feeling of absurdity.
Albert Camus
When the imagination sleeps, words are emptied of their meaning: a deaf population absent-mindedly registers the condemnation of a man. ... there is no other solution but to speak out and show the obscenity hidden under the verbal cloak.
Albert Camus
Man is an idea, and a precious small idea once he turns his back on love.
Albert Camus
The realization that life is absurd cannot be an end, but only a beginning.
Albert Camus
I don't want to represent man as he is, but only as he might be.
Albert Camus
I should like to be able to love my country and still love justice.
Albert Camus
In default of inexhaustible happiness, eternal suffering would at least give us a destiny. But we do not even have that consolation, and our worst agonies come to an end one day.
Albert Camus
All I know of morality I learned from football
Albert Camus
After awhile you could get used to anything.
Albert Camus
Every great work makes the human face more admirable and richer, and this is its whole secret.
Albert Camus
To feel absolutely right is the beginning of the end.
Albert Camus
In short, they were gambling on their luck, and luck is not to be coerced.
Albert Camus
In the midst of winter, I found there was, within me, an invincible summer. And that makes me happy. For it says that no matter how hard the world pushes against me, within me, there’s something stronger – something better, pushing right back.
Albert Camus
At times I feel myself overtaken by an immense tenderness for these people around me who live in the same century.
Albert Camus
God put self-pity by the side of despair like the cure by the side of the disease.
Albert Camus
There are people who vindicate the world, who help others live just by their presence.
Albert Camus
Betrayal answers betrayal, the mask of love is answered by the disappearance of love.
Albert Camus
The workman of today works every day in his life at the same tasks, and this fate is no less absurd. But it is tragic only at the rare moments when it becomes conscious.
Albert Camus
Men are never convinced of your reasons, of your sincerity, of the seriousness of your sufferings, except by your death. So long as you are alive, your case is doubtful you have a right only to their skepticism.
Albert Camus
It should be pointed out for our own guidance in the West that the continual signing of manifestoes and protests is one of the surest ways of undermining the efficacy and dignity of the intellectual. There exists a permanent blackmail that we all know and that we must have the often solitary courage to resist.
Albert Camus
