More quotes by Albert Camus
Virtue cannot separate itself from reality without becoming a principle of evil.
Albert Camus
It takes time to live. Like any work of art, life needs to be thought about.
Albert Camus
I was absent at the moment I took up the most space.
Albert Camus
What, in fact, is a novel but a universe in which action is endowed with form, where final words are pronounced, where people possess one another completely, and where life assumes the aspect of destiny?
Albert Camus
A craving for freedom and independence is generated only in a man still living on hope.
Albert Camus
For a man who loves power, competition from the gods is annoying. I have done away with that. I have proven to these illusory godsthat a man, if he has the will, can practice, without any apprenticeship, their ridiculous trade.
Albert Camus
Beware of those who say: I know this too well to be able to express it. For if they cannot do so, this is because they don't know it or because out of laziness they stopped at the outer crust.
Albert Camus
If one could only say just once: 'this is clear', all would be saved
Albert Camus
There is only one class of men, the privileged class
Albert Camus
The principles which men give to themselves end by overwhelming their noblest intentions.
Albert Camus
Human relationships always help us to carry on because they always presuppose further developments, a future - and also because we live as if our only task was precisely to have relationships with other people.
Albert Camus
... habit starts at the second crime. At the first one, something is ending.
Albert Camus
For what gives value to travel is fear. It breaks down a kind of inner structure we have. Travel robs us of such refuge. Far from our own people, our own language, stripped of all our props, deprived of our masks (one doesn't know the fare on the streetcars, or anything else), we are completely on the surface of ourselves.
Albert Camus
A man devoid of hope and conscious of being so has ceased to belong to the future.
Albert Camus
A man's work is nothing but this slow trek to rediscover, through the detours of art, those two or three great and simple images in whose presence his heart first opened.
Albert Camus
But what does it mean, the plague? It's life, that's all.
Albert Camus
What is a rebel? A man who says no: but whose refusal does not imply a renunciation.
Albert Camus
Find your happiness in yourself.
Albert Camus
Children will still die unjustly even in a perfect society. Even by his greatest effort, man can only propose to diminish, arithmetically, the sufferings of the world.
Albert Camus
I felt that I had been happy and that I was happy again. For everything to be consummated, for me to feel less alone, I had only to wish that there be a large crowd of spectators the day of my execution and that they greet me with cries of hate.
Albert Camus
