More quotes by Albert Camus
I have the loftiest idea, and the most passionate one, of art. Much too lofty to agree to subject it to anything. Much too passionate to want to divorce it from anything.
Albert Camus
There is always a philosophy for lack of courage.
Albert Camus
In order to exist just once in the world, it is necessary never again to exist.
Albert Camus
The look of success, when it is worn a certain way, would infuriate a jackass.
Albert Camus
A man devoid of hope and conscious of being so has ceased to belong to the future.
Albert Camus
Politics and the fate of mankind are formed by men without ideals and without greatness. Those who have greatness within them do not go in for politics.
Albert Camus

Albert Camus
...the habit of despair is worse than despair itself.
Albert Camus
What is a firm hand to me, of what use to me is this astonishing power if I cannot change the order of things, if I cannot make the sun set in the east, that suffering diminish and that beings no longer die?
Albert Camus
I make myself strict rules in order to correct my nature. But it is my nature that I finally obey.
Albert Camus
You cannot create experience. You must undergo it.
Albert Camus
The act of love . . . is a confession. Selfishness screams aloud, vanity shows off, or else true generosity reveals itself.
Albert Camus
I am too far away from what I love and my distance is without remedy.
Albert Camus
In the world there is, parallel to the force of death and constraint, an enormous force of persuasion that is called culture.
Albert Camus
Mistakes are joyful, truth infernal.
Albert Camus
The opposite of an idealist is too often a man without love.
Albert Camus
To lose one's life is no great matter when the time comes I'll have the courage to lose mine. But what's intolerable is to see one's life being drained of meaning, to be told there's no reason for existing. A man can't live without some reason for living.
Albert Camus
Rebellion cannot exist without a strange form of love.
Albert Camus
But sometimes it takes more courage to live than to shoot yourself.
Albert Camus
Big tears of frustration and exhaustion were streaming down his cheeks. But because of all the wrinkles, they weren't dripping off. They spread out and ran together again, leaving a watery film over his ruined face.
Albert Camus
