More quotes by 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
Betrayal answers betrayal, the mask of love is answered by the disappearance of love.
Albert Camus
how hard it must be to live only with what one knows and what one remembers, cut off from what one hopes for!
Albert Camus
When I was young I asked more of people than they could give: everlasting friendship, endless feeling. Now I know to ask less of them than they can give: a straightforward companionship. And their feelings, their friendship, their generous actions seem in my eyes to be wholly miraculous: a consequence of grace alone.
Albert Camus
All I maintain is that on this earth there are pestilences and there are victims, and it's up to us, so far as possible, not to join forces with the pestilences. That may sound simple to the point of childishness I can't judge if it's simple, but I know it's true.
Albert Camus
A liking for truth at any cost is a passion that spares nothing and that nothing resists. It's a vice, at times a comfort, or a selfishness.
Albert Camus
There are some individuals who have too strong a craving, a will, and a nostalgia for happiness ever to reach it. They always retain a bitter and passionate aftertaste, and that's the best they can hope for.
Albert Camus
... one cannot be happy in exile or in oblivion. One cannot always be a stranger. I want to return to my homeland, make all my loved ones happy. I see no further than this.
Albert Camus
In the world today, only a philosophy of eternity could justify non-violence.
Albert Camus
There are causes worth dying for, but none worth killing for.
Albert Camus
There's the risk of being loved...and that would keep me from being happy.
Albert Camus
The innocent is the person who explains nothing
Albert Camus
I have always felt I lived on the high seas, threatened, at the heart of a royal happiness.
Albert Camus
Liberty is dangerous, as hard to get along with as it is exciting.
Albert Camus
The absurd is the essential concept and the first truth.
Albert Camus
In the midst of winter, I found there was, within me, an invincible summer. And that makes me happy. For it says that no matter how hard the world pushes against me, within me, there’s something stronger – something better, pushing right back.
Albert Camus
Those who weep for the happy periods which they encounter in history acknowledge what they want not the alleviation but the silencing of misery.
Albert Camus
Don't wait for the last judgment - it takes place every day.
Albert Camus
After a short silence the doctor raised himself a little in his chair and asked if Tarrou had an idea of the path to follow for attaining peace. Yes, he replied. The path of sympathy.
Albert Camus
Every ideology is contrary to human psychology.
