More quotes by Albert Camus
We must stitch up what has been torn apart, render justice imaginable in the world which is so obviously unjust, make happiness meaningful for nations poisoned by the misery of this century. Naturally, it is a superhuman task. But tasks are called superhuman when men take a long time to complete them, that is all.
Albert Camus
It is easy to shield the outer body from poisoned arrows, but it is impossible to shield the mind from the poisoned darts that originate within itself. Greed, anger, foolishness and the infatuations of egoism - these four poisoned darts originate within the mind and infect it with deadly poison.
Albert Camus
The world I live in is loathsome to me, but I feel one with the men who suffer in it
Albert Camus

Albert Camus

Albert Camus
The struggle to the top alone will make a human heart SWELL.
Albert Camus
On my way out I was even going to shake his hand, but I remembered just in time that I'd killed a man.
Albert Camus
All I maintain is that on this earth there are pestilences and there are victims, and it's up to us, so far as possible, not to join forces with the pestilences. That may sound simple to the point of childishness I can't judge if it's simple, but I know it's true.
Albert Camus
Am well. Thinking of you always. Love
Albert Camus
A man without ethics is a wild beast loosed upon this world.
Albert Camus
Healthy people have a natural skill of avoiding feverish eyes.
Albert Camus
Ah, mon cher, for anyone who is alone, without God and without a master, the weight of days is dreadful.
Albert Camus
