More quotes by Albert Camus
Do not be afraid of spending quality time by yourself. Find meaning or don’t find meaning but “steal” some time and give it freely and exclusively to your own self. Opt for privacy and solitude. That doesn’t make you antisocial or cause you to reject the rest of the world. But you need to breathe. And you need to be.
Albert Camus

If, before going into the cage, he has the misfortune to cut himself while shaving, what a feast for the wild animals!!
Albert Camus
If there is a soul, it is a mistake to believe that it is given to us fully created. It is created here, throughout a whole life. And living is nothing else but that long and painful bringing forth.
Albert Camus
Nihilism is not only despair and negation, but above all the desire to despair and to negate.
Albert Camus
Proof is never definitive, after all one has to begin again with each new person.
Albert Camus
There are some individuals who have too strong a craving, a will, and a nostalgia for happiness ever to reach it. They always retain a bitter and passionate aftertaste, and that's the best they can hope for.
Albert Camus
…there's no question of heroism in all this. It's a matter of common decency. That's an idea which may make some people smile, but the only means of fighting a plague is - common decency.
Albert Camus
I had the whole sky in my eyes and it was blue and gold.
Albert Camus

Albert Camus
I cling like a miser to the freedom that disappears as soon as there is an excess of things.
Albert Camus
I feel more fellowship with the defeated than with saints.
Albert Camus
In order to exist, man must rebel, but rebellion must respect the limits that it discovers in itself - limits where minds meet, and in meeting, begin to exist.
Albert Camus
