More quotes by Albert Camus
If we believe in nothing, if nothing has any meaning and if we can affirm no values whatsoever, then everything is possible and nothing has any importance.
Albert Camus
Those who lack the courage will always find a philosophy to justify it.
Albert Camus
The nobility of our calling will always be rooted in two commitments difficult to observe: refusal to lie about what we know, and resistance to oppression.
Albert Camus
Utopia is that which is in contradiction with reality.
Albert Camus
A work of art is a confession.
Albert Camus
Betrayal answers betrayal, the mask of love is answered by the disappearance of love.
Albert Camus
Truth is mysterious, elusive, always to be conquered. Liberty is dangerous, as hard to live with as it is elating. We must march toward these two goals, painfully but resolutely, certain in advance of our failings on so long a road.
Albert Camus
What, in fact, is a novel but a universe in which action is endowed with form, where final words are pronounced, where people possess one another completely, and where life assumes the aspect of destiny?
Albert Camus
I do not want to believe that death is the gateway to another life. For me, it is a closed door. I do not say it is a step we must all take, but that it is a horrible and dirty adventure.
Albert Camus
Poverty, first of all was never a misfortune for me it was radiant with sunlight.. I owe it to my family, first of all, who lacked everything and who envied practically nothing.
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
So the thing that bothered me most was that the condemned man had to hope the machine would work the first time.
Albert Camus
Basically, at the very bottom of life, which seduces us all, there is only absurdity, and more absurdity. And maybe that's what gives us our joy for living, because the only thing that can defeat absurdity is lucidity.
Albert Camus
The harshest winter finds an invincible summer in us.
Albert Camus
You know, [women] do not really condemn any weakness: rather, they try to humiliate or disarm our strengths. That is why women arethe reward, not of the warrior, but of the criminal.
Albert Camus
In every guilty man, there is some innocence. This makes every absolute condemnation revolting.
Albert Camus
You know, a man always judges himself by the balance he can strike between the needs of his body and the demands of his mind. You're judging yourself now, Mersaut, and you don't like the sentence.
Albert Camus
Human relationships always help us to carry on because they always presuppose further developments, a future - and also because we live as if our only task was precisely to have relationships with other people.
Albert Camus
Every man, and for stronger reasons, every artist, wants to be recognized. So do I.
Albert Camus
My profession lent itself nicely to my vocation for heights. It freed me of any bitterness towards my fellow men, who were alwaysin my debt, without my owing them anything. It placed me above the judge whom, I in turn judged, above the defendant whom I forced into gratitude.
Albert Camus
