More quotes by Albert Camus

Albert Camus
Indeed, men never know how to love. nothing satisfies them. All they know is to dream, to imagine new duties, to look for new countries and new homes. While we women, we know that we must hasten to love, to share the same bed, hold hands, and fear absence. When we women love, we dream of nothing.
Albert Camus

Albert Camus
The only way out [of international dictatorship] is to place international law above governments, which means [...] that there must be a parliament for making it, and that parliament must be constituted by means of worldwide elections in which all nations will take part.
Albert Camus
What would become of the world if the condemned started to confide their heartaches to the executioners?
Albert Camus
...the play of the toughest and most lucid mind are at the same time both lavished andsquandered.
Albert Camus
Wandering seemed no more than the happiness of an anxious man.
Albert Camus
In the midst of winter, I found there was, within me, an invincible summer. And that makes me happy. For it says that no matter how hard the world pushes against me, within me, there’s something stronger – something better, pushing right back.
Albert Camus
It is easier to kill what we do not know.
Albert Camus
Il y a dans les hommes plus de choses a' admirer que de choses a' me priser. There are more things to admire in people than to despise.
Albert Camus
We are all special cases.
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
