More quotes by Albert Camus
No doubt our love was still there, but quite simply it was unusable, heavy to carry, inert inside of us, sterile as crime or condemnation. It was no longer anything except a patience with no future and a stubborn wait.
Albert Camus
No cause justifies the deaths of innocent people.
Albert Camus
Am well. Thinking of you always. Love
Albert Camus
A stranger to myself and to the world, armed solely with a thought that negates itself as soon as it asserts, what is this condition in which I can have peace only by refusing to know and to live, in which the appetite for conquest bumps into walls that defy its assaults?
Albert Camus
There is but one truly serious philosophical problem and that is suicide. Judging whether life is or is not worth living amounts to answering the fundamental question of philosophy. All the rest — whether or not the world has three dimensions, whether the mind has nine or twelve categories — comes afterwards. These are games one must first answer.
Albert Camus
There are always reasons for murdering a man. But there is no justification for his existence.
Albert Camus
Likewise, every time somebody interjects to speak of my honesty there is someone who quivers inside me.
Albert Camus
When the imagination sleeps, words are emptied of their meaning: a deaf population absent-mindedly registers the condemnation of a man. ... there is no other solution but to speak out and show the obscenity hidden under the verbal cloak.
Albert Camus
The innocent is the person who explains nothing
Albert Camus
Give up the tyranny of female charm.
Albert Camus
We're going forward, but nothing changes.
Albert Camus
Thus, in a middle course between these heights and depths, they drifted through life rather than lived, the prey of aimless days and sterile memories, like wandering shadows that could have acquired substance only by consenting to root themselves in the solid earth of their distress.
Albert Camus
If, after all, men cannot always make history have a meaning, they can always act so that their own lives have one.
Albert Camus
The workman of today works every day in his life at the same tasks, and this fate is no less absurd. But it is tragic only at the rare moments when it becomes conscious.
Albert Camus
The most important thing you do everyday you live is deciding not to kill yourself.
Albert Camus
To know oneself, one should assert oneself.
Albert Camus
He had been bored, that's all, bored like most people. Hence he had made himself out of whole cloth a life full of complications and drama. Something must happen - and that explains most human commitments. Something must happen, even loveless slavery, even war or death. Hurray then for funerals!
Albert Camus
Man is an idea, and a precious small idea once he turns his back on love.
Albert Camus
Fate is not in man but around him
Albert Camus
We do not know how to eliminate evil, but we do know how to feed some of the hungry and heal some of the infirmed.
Albert Camus
