More quotes by Albert Camus
Every ideology is contrary to human psychology.
Albert Camus
Men are never convinced of your reasons, of your sincerity, of the seriousness of your sufferings, except by your death. So long as you are alive, your case is doubtful you have a right only to their skepticism.
Albert Camus
When one has extensively pondered about men, as a career or as a vocation, one sometimes feels nostalgic for primates. At least they do not have ulterior motives.
Albert Camus
Those who lack the courage will always find a philosophy to justify it.
Albert Camus
Stupidity has a knack of getting its way.
Albert Camus
You will always win if you make an effort, no matter how much. However, if you failed it means you were too lazy.
Albert Camus
I may not have been sure about what really did interest me, but I was absolutely sure about what didn't.
Albert Camus
Real generosity toward the future lies in giving all to the present.
Albert Camus
At a certain level of suffering or injustice no one can do anything for anyone. Pain is solitary.
Albert Camus
The entire history of mankind is, in any case, nothing but a prolonged fight to the death for the conquest of universal prestige and absolute power.
Albert Camus
Without freedom, no art art lives only on the restraints it imposes on itself, and dies of all others.
Albert Camus
We used to wonder where war lived, what it was that made it so vile. And now we realize that we know where it lives... inside ourselves.
Albert Camus
There is in me an anarchy and frightful disorder. Creating makes me die a thousand deaths, because it means making order, and my entire being rebels against order. But without it I would die, scattered to the winds.
Albert Camus
We must stitch up what has been torn apart, render justice imaginable in the world which is so obviously unjust, make happiness meaningful for nations poisoned by the misery of this century. Naturally, it is a superhuman task. But tasks are called superhuman when men take a long time to complete them, that is all.
Albert Camus
What must be remembered in any case is that secret complicity that joins the logical and the everyday to the tragic.
Albert Camus
I have always felt I lived on the high seas, threatened, at the heart of a royal happiness.
Albert Camus
Methods of thought which claim to give the lead to our world in the name of revolution have become, in reality, ideologies of consent and not of rebellion.
Albert Camus
Your successes and happiness are forgiven you only if you generously consent to share them.
Albert Camus
Finally, and most of all, words failed him.
Albert Camus
A character is never the author who created him. It is quite likely, however, that an author may be all his characters simultaneously.
Albert Camus
