More quotes by Albert Camus

Image
One leader, one people, signifies one master and millions of slaves.
Albert Camus
Image
If we understood the enigmas of life there would be no need for art.
Albert Camus
Image
It is easier to kill what we do not know.
Albert Camus
Image
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
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
Thus I draw from the absurd three consequences, which are my revolt, my freedom, and my passion. By the mere activity of consciousness I transform into a rule of life what was an invitation to death—and I refuse suicide.
Albert Camus
Image
After all, every murderer when he kills runs the risk of the most dreadful of deaths, whereas those who kill him risk nothing except promotion.
Albert Camus
Image
You always get exaggerated notions of things you don't know anything about.
Albert Camus
Image
All great deeds and all great thoughts have a ridiculous beginning.
Albert Camus
Image
Greatness consists in trying to be great. There is no other way.
Albert Camus
Image
A craving for freedom and independence is generated only in a man still living on hope.
Albert Camus
Image
But what does it mean, the plague? It's life, that's all.
Albert Camus
Image
Do you believe in God, doctor? No - but what does that really mean? I'm fumbling in the dark, struggling to make something out. But I've long ceased finding that original.
Albert Camus
Image
Men must live and create. Live to the point of tears.
Albert Camus
Image
In order to exist, man must rebel, but rebellion must respect the limits that it discovers in itself - limits where minds meet, and in meeting, begin to exist.
Albert Camus
Image
Yes, I'm happy, in human terms.
Albert Camus
Image
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
Image
I was born poor and without religion, under a happy sky, feeling harmony, not hostility, in nature. I began not by feeling torn, but in plenitude.
Albert Camus
Image
... there are two types of happiness and I have chosen that of the murderers. For I am happy. There was a time when I thought I had reached the limit of distress. Beyond that limit, there is a sterile and magnificent happiness.
Albert Camus
Image
Because there is nothing here than invites us to cherish unhappy lovers. Nothing is more vain than to die for love. What we ought to do is live.
Albert Camus
