More quotes by Albert Camus
One leader, one people, signifies one master and millions of slaves.
Albert Camus
History, as an entirety, could only exist in the eyes of an observer outside it and outside the world. History only exists, in the final analysis, for God.
Albert Camus
Happiness too is inevitable.
Albert Camus
Travel, which is like a greater and a graver science, brings us back to ourselves.
Albert Camus
No cause justifies the deaths of innocent people.
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
You will never live if you are looking for the meaning of life.
Albert Camus
Democracy is not the law of the majority but the protection of the minority.
Albert Camus
People believe a man is in distress because his loved one dies in one day. But his real pain is less futile: it is that he finds out that sadness too does not last. Even pain has no meaning.
Albert Camus
Only he who is uncompromising as to his rights maintains the sense of duty.
Albert Camus
We are all special cases.
Albert Camus
Lucifer also has died with God, and from his ashes has arisen a spiteful demon who does not even understand the object of his venture.
Albert Camus
The most important thing you do everyday you live is deciding not to kill yourself.
Albert Camus
Only the sea, murmurous behind the dingy checkerboard of houses, told of the unrest, the precariousness, of all things in this world.
Albert Camus
True artists scorn nothing.
Albert Camus
In truth, I was so good at being a man, with such plenitude and simplicity, that I thought I was something of a superman.
Albert Camus
After another moment's silence she mumbled that I was peculiar, that that was probably why she loved me but that one day I might disgust her for the very same reason.
Albert Camus
But the world itself has no reason, and I can say so, I who have experienced it all, from the creation to the destruction.
Albert Camus
You cannot create experience. You must undergo it.
Albert Camus
Children will still die unjustly even in a perfect society. Even by his greatest effort, man can only propose to diminish, arithmetically, the sufferings of the world.
Albert Camus
