More quotes by Albert Camus
Greatness consists in trying to be great. There is no other way.
Albert Camus
Find your happiness in yourself.
Albert Camus
And indeed it could be said that once the faintest stirring of hope became possible, the dominion of plague was ended.
Albert Camus
I have no friends, I only have accomplices now. On the other hand, my accomplices are more numerous than my friends: they are the human race.
Albert Camus
I am not made for politics because I am incapable of wanting or accepting the death of the adversary.
Albert Camus
What would become of the world if the condemned started to confide their heartaches to the executioners?
Albert Camus
It is easy to shield the outer body from poisoned arrows, but it is impossible to shield the mind from the poisoned darts that originate within itself. Greed, anger, foolishness and the infatuations of egoism - these four poisoned darts originate within the mind and infect it with deadly poison.
Albert Camus
In a world that has ceased to believe in sin, the artist is responsible for the preaching.
Albert Camus
…there's no question of heroism in all this. It's a matter of common decency. That's an idea which may make some people smile, but the only means of fighting a plague is - common decency.
Albert Camus
People have played on words and pretended to believe that refusing to grant a meaning to life necessarily leads to declaring that it is not worth living. In truth, there is no necessary common measure between these two judgments.
Albert Camus
We do not know how to eliminate evil, but we do know how to feed some of the hungry and heal some of the infirmed.
Albert Camus
Always go too far, because that's where you'll find the truth
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
The first choice an artist makes is precisely to be an artist, and if he chooses to be an artist it is in consideration of what he is himself and because of a certain idea he has of art
Albert Camus
The absurd depends as much on man as on the world. For the moment, it is all that links them together.
Albert Camus
To be born to create, to love, to win at games is to be born to live in time of peace. But war teaches us to lose everything and become what we were not. It all becomes a question of style.
Albert Camus
It would be unjust, and moreover Utopian, for Shakespeare to direct the shoemakers' union. But it would be equally disastrous forthe shoemakers' union to ignore Shakespeare.
Albert Camus
Mon cher ami, let's not give them any pretext, no matter how small, for judging us!!! Otherwise, we'll be left in shreds. We are forced to take the same precautions as the animal trainer. If, before going into the cage, he has the misfortune to cut himself while shaving, what a feast for the wild animals!!
Albert Camus
The principles which men give to themselves end by overwhelming their noblest intentions.
Albert Camus
If those whom we begin to love could know us as we were before meeting them they could perceive what they have made of us.
Albert Camus
