More quotes by Albert Camus
For there is merely bad luck in not being loved there is misfortune in not loving.
Albert Camus
We know the surrealist solution: concrete irrationality, objective risk. Poetry is the conquest, the only possible conquest, of the 'supreme position', 'a certain position of the mind from where life and death, the real and the imaginary, the past and the future... cease to be perceived in a contradictory sense.'
Albert Camus
We all have a weakness for beauty.
Albert Camus
After all manner of professors have done their best for us, the place we are to get knowledge is in books. The true university of these days is a collection of books.
Albert Camus
Love cannot accept what it is. Everywhere on earth it cries out against kindness, compassion, intelligence, everything that leads to compromise. Love demands the impossible, the absolute, the sky on fire, inexhaustible springtime, life after death, and death itself transfigured into eternal life.
Albert Camus
To create today is to create dangerously. Any publication is an act, and that act exposes one to the passions of an age that forgives nothing.
Albert Camus
Nothing is more despicable than respect based on fear.
Albert Camus
I am too much in love with my lies and hypocrisies not to confess them fervently.
Albert Camus
Truth is not a virtue, but a passion. It is never charitable.
Albert Camus
A single sentence will suffice for modern man. He fornicated and read the papers. After that vigorous definition, the subject will be, if I may say so, exhausted.
Albert Camus
I was assailed by memories of a life that wasn't mine anymore, but one in which I'd found the simplest and most lasting joys.
Albert Camus
Likewise and during every day of an unillustrious life, time carries us. But a moment always comes when we have to carry it.
Albert Camus
On the ridge where the great artist moves forward, every step is an adventure, an extreme risk. In that risk, however, and only there, lays the freedom of Art.
Albert Camus
What is a rebel? A man who says no.
Albert Camus
Believe me, for certain men at least, not taking what one doesn't desire is the hardest thing in the world.
Albert Camus
At one time or another all normal people have wished their loved ones were dead.
Albert Camus
What the world expects of Christians is that Christians should speak out, loud and clear... in such a way that never a doubt, never the slightest doubt, could rise in the heart of the simplest man.
Albert Camus
The absurd is the essential concept and the first truth.
Albert Camus
“To think the way you do,” he said smiling, “you have to be a man who lives either on a tremendous despair, or on a tremendous hope.” “On both, perhaps.”
Albert Camus
He was conscious of the disastrous fact that love and desire must be expressed in the same way.
Albert Camus
