More quotes by Albert Camus
Liberty is dangerous, as hard to get along with as it is exciting.
Albert Camus
Happiness is generous. It does not subsist on destruction.
Albert Camus
I'd buy myself a cabin on the beach, I'd put some glue in my navel, and I'd stick a flag in there. Then I'd wait to see which way the wind was blowing.
Albert Camus
Europe has lived on its contradictions, flourished on its differences, and, constantly transcending itself thereby, has created a civilization on which the whole world depends even when rejecting it. This is why I do not believe in a Europe unified under the weight of an ideology or of a technocracy that overlooked these differences.
Albert Camus
To two men living the same number of years, the world always provides the same sum of experiences. It is up to us to be conscious of them.
Albert Camus
You always get exaggerated notions of things you don't know anything about.
Albert Camus
We rarely confide in those who are better than we are.
Albert Camus
There are causes worth dying for, but none worth killing for.
Albert Camus
Can one be a saint if God does not exist? That is the only concrete problem I know of today.
Albert Camus

Albert Camus
I do not have much liking for the too famous existential philosophy, and, to tell the truth, I think its conclusions false.
Albert Camus
I was assailed by memories of a life that wasn't mine anymore, but one in which I'd found the simplest and most lasting joys.
Albert Camus
Human relationships always help us to carry on because they always presuppose a future.
Albert Camus
If pimps and thieves everywhere were always punished, honest people would all believe themselves always to be innocent.
Albert Camus
Conscious of not being able to separate myself from my time, I have decided to become part of it.
Albert Camus
After all perhaps the greatness of art lies in the perpetual tension between beauty and pain, the love of men and the madness of creation, unbearable solitude and the exhausting crowd, rejection and consent.
Albert Camus
People have played on words and pretended to believe that refusing to grant a meaning to life necessarily leads to declaring that it is not worth living. In truth, there is no necessary common measure between these two judgments.
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
If Christianity is pessimistic as to man, it is optimistic as to human destiny. Well, I can say that, pessimistic as to human destiny, I am optimistic as to man.
Albert Camus
Men cry because things are not what they ought to be.
Albert Camus
