More quotes by Albert Camus
Should I kill myself, or have a cup of coffee?
Albert Camus
She was wearing a pair of my pajamas with the sleeves rolled up. When she laughed I wanted her again. A minute later she asked me if I loved her. I told her it didn't mean anything but that I didn't think so. She looked sad. But as we were fixing lunch, and for no apparent reason, she laughed in such a way that I kissed her.
Albert Camus

Albert Camus

Albert Camus
Beauty is unbearable, drives us to despair, offering us for a minute the glimpse of an eternity that we should like to stretch out over the whole of time.
Albert Camus
How had I not seen that there was nothing more important than an execution, and that when you come right down to it, it was the only thing a man could truly be interested in?
Albert Camus
I have not stopped loving that which is sacred in this world.
Albert Camus
I should like to be able to love my country and still love justice.
Albert Camus
...Any authentic creation is a gift to the future.
Albert Camus
It is in the thick of calamity that one gets hardened to the truth - in other words, to silence.
Albert Camus
We get into the habit of living before acquiring the habit of thinking.
Albert Camus
But what does it mean, the plague? It's life, that's all.
Albert Camus
