More quotes by Albert Camus
The modern mind is in complete disarray. Knowledge has stretched itself to the point where neither the world nor our intelligence can find any foot-hold. It is a fact that we are suffering from nihilism.
Albert Camus
Sometimes, carrying on, just carrying on, is the superhuman achievement.
Albert Camus
On my way out I was even going to shake his hand, but I remembered just in time that I'd killed a man.
Albert Camus
I hope the dogs don't bark tonight. I always think it's mine
Albert Camus
It is always easy to be logical. It is almost impossible to be logical to the bitter end.
Albert Camus
At that time, I often thought that if I had had to live in the trunk of a dead tree, with nothing to do but look up at the sky flowing overhead, little by little I would have gotten used to it.
Albert Camus
Truth, like light, is blinding. Lies, on the other hand, are a beautiful dusk, which enhances the value of each object.
Albert Camus
Every writer, big or small, needs to say or write that the genius is always hissed at by his contemporaries. Naturally, this is not true, it happens only occasionally and often by chance. But this need within the writer is enlightening.
Albert Camus
There are more things to admire in men than to despise.
Albert Camus
There is the good and the bad, the great and the low, the just and the unjust. I swear to you that all that will never change.
Albert Camus
But above all, in order to be, never try to seem.
Albert Camus
It is not humiliating to be unhappy. Physical suffering is sometimes humiliating, but the suffering of being cannot be, it is life.
Albert Camus
Every man, and for stronger reasons, every artist, wants to be recognized. So do I.
Albert Camus
Nobody realizes that some people expend tremendous energy merely to be normal.
Albert Camus
Morality, when formal, devours.
Albert Camus
Every revolutionary ends up either by becoming an oppressor or a heretic.
Albert Camus
In the past, the poverty they shared had a certain sweetness about it. When the end of the day came and they would eat their dinner in silence with the oil lamp between them, there was a secret joy in such simplicity, such retrenchment.
Albert Camus
The kingdom of heaven will, in fact, appear on earth , but it will be ruled over by men a mere handful to begin with, who will be the Cassars, because they were the first to understand and later, with time, by all men.
Albert Camus
People hasten to judge in order not to be judged themselves.
Albert Camus
I was comfortable in all, I admit, but at the same time, nothing satisfied me. Each joy made me seek another.
Albert Camus
