All I know of morality I learned from football
Albert Camus
Image
I had only a little time left and I didn't want to waste it on God.
Albert Camus
Image
Because,' Cormery went on, 'when I was very young, very foolish, and very much alone ... you paid attention to me and, without seeming to, you opened for me the door to everything I love in the world.
Albert Camus
Image
But what are a hundred million deaths? When one has served in a war, one hardly knows what a dead man is, after a while. And since a dead man has no substance unless one has actually seen him dead, a hundred million corpses broadcast through history are no more than a puff of smoke in the imagination.
Albert Camus
Image
Truth is not a virtue, but a passion. It is never charitable.
Albert Camus
Image
To understand one's world, one must sometimes turn away from it! To serve better, one must briefly hold it at a distance. Where can the necessary solitude be found, the long breathing space in which mind gathers its strength and takes stock of its courage.
Albert Camus

The need to be right is the sign of a vulgar mind.
Albert Camus

Death means nothing to men like me. It's the event that proves them right.
Albert Camus
Image
The human heart has a tiresome tendency to label as fate only what crushes it. But happiness likewise, in its way, is without reason, since it is inevitable.
Albert Camus
Image
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
Image
There is no love of life without despair of life.
Albert Camus
Image
The best are led to make greater demands upon themselves. As for those who succumb, they did not deserve to survive.
Albert Camus
Image
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
Image
I don't want to represent man as he is, but only as he might be.
Albert Camus
Image
Autumn is a second spring when every leaf is a flower.
Albert Camus
Image
Man stands face to face with the irrational. He feels within him his longing for happiness and for reason. The absurd is born of this confrontation between the human need and the unreasonable silence of the world.
Albert Camus
Image
Tout re volutionnaire finit en oppresseur ou en he re tique. Every revolutionary ends as an oppressor or a heretic.
Albert Camus
Image
One must imagine Sisyphus happy.
Albert Camus
Image
Being is good, but getting rich is better.... If the gods had only the riches of men's adoration, they would be as poor as poor Caligula.
Albert Camus
Image
You know, a man always judges himself by the balance he can strike between the needs of his body and the demands of his mind. You're judging yourself now, Mersaut, and you don't like the sentence.
