More quotes by Albert Camus
A loveless world is a dead world.
Albert Camus
Big tears of frustration and exhaustion were streaming down his cheeks. But because of all the wrinkles, they weren't dripping off. They spread out and ran together again, leaving a watery film over his ruined face.
Albert Camus
In the world today, only a philosophy of eternity could justify non-violence.
Albert Camus
The only way to deal with an unfree world is to become so absolutely free that your very existence is an act of rebellion.
Albert Camus
There can be no question of holding forth on ethics. I have seen people behave badly with great morality and I note every day that integrity has no need of rules
Albert Camus
Since the order of the world is shaped by death, mightn't it be better for God if we refuse to believe in Him, and struggle with all our might against death without raising our eyes towards the heaven where He sits in silence?
Albert Camus
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
he's incapable of suffering for a long time, or being happy for a long time. Which means that he's incapable of anything really worth while.
Albert Camus
Proof is never definitive, after all one has to begin again with each new person.
Albert Camus
Everyone would like to behave like a pagan, with everyone else behaving like a Christian.
Albert Camus
Fate is not in man but around him
Albert Camus
No doubt our love was still there, but quite simply it was unusable, heavy to carry, inert inside of us, sterile as crime or condemnation. It was no longer anything except a patience with no future and a stubborn wait.
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
Art and revolt will die only with the last man.
Albert Camus
The real 19th century prophet was Dostoevsky, not Karl Marx.
Albert Camus
But it's not easy. I've been thinking it over for years. While we loved each other we didn't need words to make ourselves understood. But people don't love forever. A time came when I should have found the words to keep her with me, only I couldn't.
Albert Camus
Find your happiness in yourself.
Albert Camus
The truth, as the light, makes blind.
Albert Camus
Myths are made for the imagination to breath life into them.
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
