More quotes by Albert Camus
Old women even forget how to love their sons. The heart gets worn out, Monsieur.
Albert Camus
There are always reasons for murdering a man. But there is no justification for his existence.
Albert Camus
An achievement is a bondage. It obliges one to a higher achievement.
Albert Camus
A trial cannot be conducted by announcing the general culpability of a civilization. Only the actual deeds which, at least, stank in the nostrils of the entire world were brought to judgment.
Albert Camus
You make the mistake of thinking you have to choose, that you have to do what you want, that there are conditions for happiness. What matters — all that matters, really is the will to happiness, a kind of enormous, ever present consciousness. The rest - women , art, success — is nothing but excuses. A canvas waiting for our embroideries.
Albert Camus
The most eloquent eulogy of capitalism was made by its greatest enemy. Marx is only anti-capitalist in so far as capitalism is out of date.
Albert Camus
The truth, as the light, makes blind.
Albert Camus
From the evening breeze to this hand on my shoulder, everything has its truth.
Albert Camus
A stranger to myself and to the world, armed solely with a thought that negates itself as soon as it asserts, what is this condition in which I can have peace only by refusing to know and to live, in which the appetite for conquest bumps into walls that defy its assaults?
Albert Camus
The absurd is the essential concept and the first truth.
Albert Camus
Outside of that single fatality of death, everything, joy or happiness, is liberty.
Albert Camus
He was expressing his certainty that my appeal would be granted, but I was carrying the burden of a sin from which I had to free myself. According to him, human justice was nothing and divine justice was everything. I pointed out it was the former that had condemned me.
Albert Camus
We turn our backs on nature we are ashamed of beauty. Our wretched tragedies have a smell of the office clinging to them, and the blood that trickles from them is the color of printer's ink.
Albert Camus
I understood, by dint of digging into my memories, that modesty helped me to shine, humility helped me to triumph and virtue to oppress.
Albert Camus
The world in which we were called to exist was an absurd world, and there was no other in which we could take refuge.
Albert Camus
The best are led to make greater demands upon themselves. As for those who succumb, they did not deserve to survive.
Albert Camus
Alas, after a certain age every man is responsible for his face.
Albert Camus
You know very well that I no longer think. I am far too intelligent for that.
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
What, in fact, is a novel but a universe in which action is endowed with form, where final words are pronounced, where people possess one another completely, and where life assumes the aspect of destiny?
Albert Camus
