More quotes by Albert Camus
We get into the habit of living before acquiring the habit of thinking. In that race which daily hastens us towards death, the body maintains its irreparable lead.
Albert Camus

Albert Camus

Albert Camus
Nobody realizes that some people expend tremendous energy merely to be normal.
Albert Camus
As a remedy to life in society I would suggest the big city. Nowadays, it is the only desert within our means.
Albert Camus
It is always easy to be logical. It is almost impossible to be logical to the bitter end.
Albert Camus
No longer were there individual destinies only a collective destiny, made of plague and emotions shared by all.
Albert Camus

Albert Camus
In order to exist, man must rebel.
Albert Camus

Albert Camus
At a certain level of suffering or injustice no one can do anything for anyone. Pain is solitary.
Albert Camus
Martyrs, my friend, have to choose between being forgotten, mocked or used. As for being understood - never.
Albert Camus
That must be wonderful I have no idea of what it means.
Albert Camus
Something must happen that is the reason for most human relationships. Something must happen even servitude in love, in war, ordeath.
Albert Camus
Beginning to think is beginning to be undermined.
Albert Camus
You cannot acquire experience by making experiments. You cannot create experience. You must undergo it.
Albert Camus
All healthy men have thought of their own suicide
Albert Camus
In the vast reaches of the dry, cold night, thousands of stars were constantly appearing, and their sparkling icicles, loosened at once, began to slip gradually toward the horizon.
Albert Camus
We are not so mad as to think that we shall create a world in which murder will not occur. We are fighting for a world in which murder will no longer be legal.
Albert Camus
