More quotes by Albert Camus
I opened myself to the gentle indifference of the world.
Albert Camus
Great novelists are philosopher novelists - that is, the contrary of thesis-writers.
Albert Camus
The kingdom of heaven will, in fact, appear on earth , but it will be ruled over by men a mere handful to begin with, who will be the Cassars, because they were the first to understand and later, with time, by all men.
Albert Camus
Mother died today. Or maybe yesterday I can't be sure.
Albert Camus
Holland is a dream, Monsieur, a dream of gold and smoke-smokier by day, more gilded by night. And night and day that dream is peopled with Lohengrins like these, dreamily riding their black bicycles with high handle-bars, funereal swans constantly drifting throughout the whole country, around the seas, along the canals.
Albert Camus
Moreover, most people, assuming they had not altogether abandoned religious observances, or did not combine them naively with a thoroughly immoral way of living, had replace normal religious practice by more or less extravagant superstitions.
Albert Camus
There is so much stubborn hope in the human heart.
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
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
Liberty is dangerous, as hard to get along with as it is exciting.
Albert Camus
For if there is a sin against life, it consists perhaps not so much in despairing of life as in hoping for another life and in eluding the implacable grandeur of this life.
Albert Camus
If one could only say just once: 'this is clear', all would be saved
Albert Camus
The act of love . . . is a confession. Selfishness screams aloud, vanity shows off, or else true generosity reveals itself.
Albert Camus
The more I accuse myself, the more right I have to judge you. Even better, I make you judge yourself, which comforts me the more.
Albert Camus
The only really committed artist is he who, without refusing to take part in the combat, at least refuses to join the regular armies and remains a freelance.
Albert Camus
In order to understand the world, one has to turn away from it on occasion in order to serve others better, one has to hold them at a distance for a time. But where can one find the solitude necessary to vigor, the deep breath in which the mind collects itself and courage gauges its strength? There remain big cities.
Albert Camus
They hurt each other without wanting to, just because each represented to the others the cruel and demanding necessity of their lives.
Albert Camus
Youth is above all a collection of possibilities.
Albert Camus
The principles which men give to themselves end by overwhelming their noblest intentions.
Albert Camus
But - I cannot make a choice. I have my own sorrow, but I suffer with him, too I share his pain. I understand all - that is my trouble.
Albert Camus
