More quotes by Albert Camus
I am too much in love with my lies and hypocrisies not to confess them fervently.
Albert Camus
I see many people die because they judge that life is not worth living. I see others paradoxically getting killed for the ideas or illusions that give them a reason for living (what is called a reason for living is also an excellent reason for dying). I therefore conclude that the meaning of life is the most urgent of questions.
Albert Camus
Indeed, men never know how to love. nothing satisfies them. All they know is to dream, to imagine new duties, to look for new countries and new homes. While we women, we know that we must hasten to love, to share the same bed, hold hands, and fear absence. When we women love, we dream of nothing.
Albert Camus
Democracy is not the law of the majority but the protection of the minority.
Albert Camus
You have to be very rich or very poor to live without a trade.
Albert Camus
Marxism is not scientific: at the best, it has scientific prejudices.
Albert Camus
I have always felt I lived on the high seas, threatened, at the heart of a royal happiness.
Albert Camus
Mostly, I could tell, I made him feel uncomfortable. He didn't understand me, and he was sort of holding it against me. I felt the urge to reassure him that I was like everybody else, just like everybody else. But really there wasn't much point, and I gave up the idea out of laziness.
Albert Camus
In a universe suddenly divested of illusion and lights, man feels an alien, a stranger. His exile is without remedy since he is deprived of the memory of a lost home or the hope of a promised land.
Albert Camus
The most important thing you do everyday you live is deciding not to kill yourself.
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
What gives value to travel is fear. It is a fact that, at a certain moment, when we are so far from our own country, we are seized by a vague fear and an instinctive desire to go back to the protection of old habits. I look upon it more as an occasion for testing.
Albert Camus
Children will still die unjustly even in a perfect society. Even by his greatest effort, man can only propose to diminish, arithmetically, the sufferings of the world.
Albert Camus
If there is a soul, it is a mistake to believe that it is given to us fully created. It is created here, throughout a whole life. And living is nothing else but that long and painful bringing forth.
Albert Camus
Like great works, deep feelings always mean more than they are conscious of saying.
Albert Camus
To be born to create, to love, to win at games is to be born to live in time of peace. But war teaches us to lose everything and become what we were not. It all becomes a question of style.
Albert Camus
Nobody realizes that some people expend tremendous energy merely to be normal.
Albert Camus
Truth, like light, blinds. Falsehood, on the contrary, is a beautiful twilight that enhances every object.
Albert Camus
We are rebels for a cause, poets with a dream , and we won't let this world die without a fight.
Albert Camus
I like people who dream or talk to themselves interminably I like them, for they are double. They are here and elsewhere.
Albert Camus
