More quotes by Albert Camus
My life was lucky so that I met, I loved (and disappointed) only outstanding people.
Albert Camus
There is not a single true work of art that has not in the end added to the inner freedom insight and life of each person who has known and loved it.
Albert Camus
Against eternal injustice, man must assert justice, and to protest against the universe of grief, he must create happiness.
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
If God did not exist, we should have to invent him. If God did exist, we should have to abolish Him.
Albert Camus
I knew that I had shattered the harmony of the day, the exceptional silence of a beach where I'd been happy. Then I fired four more times at the motionless body where the bullets lodged without leaving a trace. And it was like knocking four quick times on the door of unhappiness.
Albert Camus
Truth and freedom, having few lovers, are demanding mistresses.
Albert Camus
Mother died today. Or maybe yesterday I can't be sure.
Albert Camus
I would rather live my life as if there is a God and die to find out there isn't, than live as if there isn't and to die to find out that there is.
Albert Camus
If the world were clear, art would not exist.
Albert Camus
Poverty, first of all was never a misfortune for me it was radiant with sunlight.. I owe it to my family, first of all, who lacked everything and who envied practically nothing.
Albert Camus
All healthy men have thought of their own suicide
Albert Camus

Albert Camus
Our reason has driven all away. Alone at last, we end up ruling over a desert.
Albert Camus
I felt as I hadn't felt for ages. I had a foolish desire to burst into tears. for the first time I'd realized how all these people loathed me.
Albert Camus
A sub-clerk in the post-office is the equal of a conqueror if consciousness is common to them.
Albert Camus
Europe has lived on its contradictions, flourished on its differences, and, constantly transcending itself thereby, has created a civilization on which the whole world depends even when rejecting it. This is why I do not believe in a Europe unified under the weight of an ideology or of a technocracy that overlooked these differences.
Albert Camus
There exists an obvious fact that seems utterly moral: namely, that a man is always prey to his truths. Once he has admitted them, he cannot free himself from them. One has to pay something. A man who has become conscious of the absurd is forever bound to it.
Albert Camus
You know, [women] do not really condemn any weakness: rather, they try to humiliate or disarm our strengths. That is why women arethe reward, not of the warrior, but of the criminal.
Albert Camus
Absolute virtue is impossible and the republic of forgiveness leads, with implacable logic, to the republic of the guillotine.
Albert Camus
