More quotes by Albert Camus
When the body is sad, the heart languishes.
Albert Camus
People believe a man is in distress because his loved one dies in one day. But his real pain is less futile: it is that he finds out that sadness too does not last. Even pain has no meaning.
Albert Camus
The Byronic hero, incapable of love, or capable only of an impossible love, suffers endlessly. He is solitary, languid, his condition exhausts him. If he wants to feel alive, it must be in the terrible exaltation of a brief and destructive action.
Albert Camus
Every authentic work of art is a gift offered to the future.
Albert Camus
One plays at being immortal and after a few weeks one doesn't even know whether or not one can hang on till the next day.
Albert Camus
We are not certain, we are never certain. If we were we could reach some conclusions, and we could, at last, make others take us seriously.
Albert Camus
It takes time to live. Like any work of art, life needs to be thought about.
Albert Camus
The more I accuse myself, the more right I have to judge you. Even better, I make you judge yourself, which comforts me the more.
Albert Camus
Having money is a way of being free of money.
Albert Camus
No, Father, I've a very different idea of love. And until my dying day I shall refuse to love a scheme of things in which children are put to torture.
Albert Camus
Revolution, in order to be creative, cannot do without either a moral or metaphysical rule to balance the insanity of history.
Albert Camus
Liberty is dangerous, as hard to get along with as it is exciting.
Albert Camus
This absurd, godless world is, then, peopled with men who think clearly and have ceased to hope. And I have not yet spoken of the most absurd character, who is the creator.
Albert Camus
Freedom is nothing but a chance to be better.
Albert Camus
Maman used to say that you can always find something to be happy about.
Albert Camus
Truth, like light, blinds. Falsehood, on the contrary, is a beautiful twilight that enhances every object.
Albert Camus
A true masterpiece does not tell everything.
Albert Camus
If we understood the enigmas of life there would be no need for art.
Albert Camus
I may not have been sure about what really did interest me, but I was absolutely sure about what didn't.
Albert Camus
Again and again there comes a time in history when the man who dares to say that two and two make four is punished with death. (The Plague)
Albert Camus
