More quotes by Albert Camus
Moreover, most people, assuming they had not altogether abandoned religious observances, or did not combine them naively with a thoroughly immoral way of living, had replace normal religious practice by more or less extravagant superstitions.
Albert Camus
Because there is nothing here than invites us to cherish unhappy lovers. Nothing is more vain than to die for love. What we ought to do is live.
Albert Camus
Every act of rebellion expresses a nostalgia for innocence and an appeal to the essence of being.
Albert Camus
Have you noticed that only death arouses our emotions? How we love thee friends who have just passed away, right? How we admire those master who no longer speak, their mouths full of dirt. We them we are not obligated.
Albert Camus
We all carry within us places of exile, our crimes, our ravages. Our task is not to unleash them on the world it is to transform them in ourselves and others.
Albert Camus
It is better to burn than to disappear.
Albert Camus
Metaphysical rebellion is a claim, motivated by the concept of a complete unity, against the suffering of life and death and a protest against the human condition both for its incompleteness, thanks to death, and its wastefulness, thanks to evil.
Albert Camus
What is a rebel? A man who says no.
Albert Camus
When the throne of God is overturned, the rebel realizes that it is now his own responsibility to create the justice, order, and unity that he sought in vain within his own condition, and in this way to justify the fall of God. Then begins the desperate effort to create, at the price of crime and murder if necessary, the dominion of man.
Albert Camus
I am not made for politics because I am incapable of wanting or accepting the death of the adversary.
Albert Camus
Peace is the only battle worth waging.
Albert Camus
There was the same dazzling red glare. The sea gasped for air with each shallow, stifled wave that broke on the sand. ...with every blade of light that flashed off the sand, from a bleached shell or a peice of broken glass, my jaws tightened. I walked for a long time.
Albert Camus
No excuses ever, for anyone that is my principle at the outset. I deny the good intention, the respectable mistake, the indiscretion, the extenuating circumstance. With me there is no giving of absolution or blessing.
Albert Camus
To live is to hurt others, and through others, to hurt oneself. Cruel earth! How can we manage not to touch anything? To find what ultimate exile?
Albert Camus
In art, rebellion is consummated and perpetuated in the act of real creation, not in criticism or commentary.
Albert Camus
Freedom is not constituted primarily of privileges but of responsibilities.
Albert Camus
Once one's up against it, the precise manner of one's death has obviously small importance.
Albert Camus
The laws of nature may be operative up to a certain limit, beyond which they turn against themselves to give birth to the absurd.
Albert Camus
So the thing that bothered me most was that the condemned man had to hope the machine would work the first time.
Albert Camus
In normal times all of us know, whether consciously or not, that there is no love which can't be bettered nevertheless, we reconcile ourselves more or less easily to the fact that ours has never risen above the average.
Albert Camus
