More quotes by Albert Camus
The most exhausting effort in my life has been to suppress my own nature in order to make it serve my biggest plans.
Albert Camus
In that night alive with signs and stars, I opened myself to the gentle indifference of the world. Finding it so much like myself--like a brother, really--I felt that I had been happy and that I was happy again.
Albert Camus
Even when one sits in the prisoner's dock, it is interesting to hear talk about oneself.
Albert Camus
Don't walk behind me I may not lead. Don't walk in front of me I may not follow. Just walk beside me and be my friend.
Albert Camus
Revolution, in order to be creative, cannot do without either a moral or metaphysical rule to balance the insanity of history.
Albert Camus
If we understood the enigmas of life there would be no need for art.
Albert Camus
The real 19th century prophet was Dostoevsky, not Karl Marx.
Albert Camus
Between history and the eternal I have chosen history because I like certainties. Of it, at least, I am certain, and how can I deny this force crushing me.
Albert Camus
As for those whose role it is to love us - I mean, relatives and in-laws (what a word)- It's a different tune. They find the right word, but it's usually the one that wounds.
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
Thus each of us had to be content to live only for the day, alone under the vast indifference of the sky.
Albert Camus
I know simply that the sky will last longer than I.
Albert Camus
A man who has become conscious of the absurd is for ever bound to it.
Albert Camus
That's the way man is, cher monsieur. He has two faces: he can't love without self-love.
Albert Camus
The only conception of freedom I can have is that of the prisoner or the individual in the midst of the State. The only one I know is freedom of thought and action.
Albert Camus
History only exists, in the final analysis, for God.
Albert Camus
In short, they were gambling on their luck, and luck is not to be coerced.
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
And real nobility (that of the heart) is based on scorn, courage, and profound indifference.
Albert Camus
If something is going to happen to me, I want to be there.
Albert Camus
