More quotes by Albert Camus

Image
And I too, felt ready to start life all over again. It was as if that great rush of anger had washed me clean, emptied me of hope, and, gazing up at the dark sky spangled with its signs and stars, for the first time, the first, I laid my heart open to the benign indifference of the universe.
Albert Camus
Image
Whoever today speaks of human existence in terms of power, efficiency, and historical tasks is an actual or potential assassin.
Albert Camus
Image
The truth is that everyone is bored, and devotes himself to cultivating habits.
Albert Camus
Image
In fact, other people create for lack of power. I, on the other hand, do not need a work: I live.
Albert Camus
Image
A guilty conscience needs to confess. A work of art is a confession.
Albert Camus

The most important thing you do everyday you live is deciding not to kill yourself.
Albert Camus
Image
Freedom is not a gift received from the State or leader, but a possession to be won every day by the effort of each and the union of all.
Albert Camus
Image
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
Image
There is no longer a single idea explaining everything, but an infinite number of essences giving a meaning to an infinite number of objects. The world comes to a stop, but also lights up.
Albert Camus
Image
There can be no question of masking the evidence, of suppressing the absurd by denying one of the terms of its equation. It is essential to know whether one can live with it or whether, on the other hand, logic commands one to die of it.
Albert Camus
Image
There is a life and there is a death, and there are beauty and melancholy between.
Albert Camus
Image
If nothing had any meaning, you would be right. But there is something that still has a meaning.
Albert Camus
Image
I had the whole sky in my eyes and it was blue and gold.
Albert Camus
Image
Here lives a free man. Nobody serves him.
Albert Camus
Image
None of the evils which totalitarianism ... claims to remedy is worse than totalitarianism itself.
Albert Camus
Image
There is so much stubborn hope in the human heart.
Albert Camus
Image
We all carry within us places of exile, our crimes, our ravages. Our task is not to unleash them on the world it is to transform them in ourselves and others.
Albert Camus
Image
Whereas the Greeks gave to will the boundaries of reason, we have come to put the will's impulse in the very center of reason, which has, as a result, become deadly.
Albert Camus
Image
I enjoyed my own nature to the fullest, and we all know there lies happiness, although, to soothe one another mutually, we occasionally pretend to condemn such joys as selfishness.
Albert Camus
Image
If something is going to happen to me, I want to be there.
Albert Camus
