More quotes by Albert Camus
All I know of morality I learned from football
Albert Camus
Most men are like me. They cannot live in a universe where the most bizarre thought can in one second enter into the realm of reality--where, most often, it does enter, like a knife in a heart.
Albert Camus
An achievement is a bondage. It obliges one to a higher achievement.
Albert Camus
From Paul to Stalin, the popes who have chosen Caesar have prepared the way for Caesars who quickly learn to despise popes.
Albert Camus
There is but one freedom, To put oneself right with death. After that everything is possible. I cannot force you to believe in God. Believing in God amounts to coming to terms with death. When you have accepted death, the problem of God will be solved, and not the reverse.
Albert Camus
It's not your pictures I like it's your painting.
Albert Camus
When the body is sad, the heart languishes.
Albert Camus
I feel more fellowship with the defeated than with saints.
Albert Camus

Albert Camus
Does the end justify the means? That is possible. But what will justify the end? To that question, which historical thought leaves pending, rebellion replies: the means.
Albert Camus
In the end, we would like not to be guilty while at the same time being dispensed of the effort of purifying ourselves. Not enough cynicism and not enough virtue.
Albert Camus
The slave and those whose present life is miserable and who can find no consolation in the heavens are assured that at least the future belongs to them. The future is the only kind of property that the masters willingly concede to the slaves.
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
Ironic philosophies produce passionate works.
Albert Camus
There are more things to admire in men than to despise.
Albert Camus
Life is the result of all your choices.
Albert Camus
Rule: Start by looking for what is valid in every man.
Albert Camus
Great ideas come into the world as gently as doves.
Albert Camus
Beauty is unbearable, drives us to despair, offering us for a minute the glimpse of an eternity that we should like to stretch out over the whole of time.
Albert Camus
Idleness is fatal only to the mediocre.
Albert Camus
