More quotes by Albert Camus
The love of God is a hard love. It demands total self-surrender, disdain of our human personality. And yet it alone can reconcile us to suffering and the deaths of children, it alone can justify them, since we cannot understand them, and we can only make God's will ours.
Albert Camus
Rebellion cannot exist without a strange form of love.
Albert Camus
He who despairs of the human condition is a coward, but he who has hope for it is a fool.
Albert Camus
Those who weep for the happy periods which they encounter in history acknowledge what they want not the alleviation but the silencing of misery.
Albert Camus
In normal times all of us know, whether consciously or not, that there is no love which can't be bettered nevertheless, we reconcile ourselves more or less easily to the fact that ours has never risen above the average.
Albert Camus
Everybody knows life isn't worth living.
Albert Camus
Men are never really willing to die except for the sake of freedom: therefore they do not believe in dying completely.
Albert Camus
The first concern of any dictatorship is, consequently, to subjugate both labor and culture.
Albert Camus
There is not one talent for living and another for creating. The same suffices for both. And one can be sure that the talent that could not produce but an artificial work could not sustain but a frivolous life.
Albert Camus
The loss of love is the loss of all rights, even though one had them all.
Albert Camus
Purely historical thought is therefore nihilistic: it wholeheartedly accepts the evil of history and in this way is opposed to rebellion.
Albert Camus
In the world today, only a philosophy of eternity could justify non-violence.
Albert Camus
A man who has become conscious of the absurd is for ever bound to it.
Albert Camus
There is no fate that cannot be surmounted by scorn.
Albert Camus
O light! This the cry of all the characters of ancient drama brought face to face with their fate. This last resort was ours, too, and I knew it now. In the middle of winter I at last discovered that there was in me an invincible summer.
Albert Camus
Against eternal injustice, man must assert justice, and to protest against the universe of grief, he must create happiness.
Albert Camus
Indeed, men never know how to love. nothing satisfies them. All they know is to dream, to imagine new duties, to look for new countries and new homes. While we women, we know that we must hasten to love, to share the same bed, hold hands, and fear absence. When we women love, we dream of nothing.
Albert Camus
The only serious question in life is whether to kill yourself or not.
Albert Camus
Greatness consists in trying to be great. There is no other way.
Albert Camus
A man without ethics is a wild beast loosed upon this world.
Albert Camus
