More quotes by Albert Camus

Realism should only be the means of expression of religious genius... or, at the other extreme, the artistic expressions of monkeys which are quite satisfied with mere imitation. In fact, art is never realistic though sometimes it is tempted to be. To be really realistic a description would have to be endless.
Albert Camus
Image
The slave and those whose present life is miserable and who can find no consolation in the heavens are assured that at least the future belongs to them. The future is the only kind of property that the masters willingly concede to the slaves.
Albert Camus
Image
They hurt each other without wanting to, just because each represented to the others the cruel and demanding necessity of their lives.
Albert Camus
Image
Man is the only creature that refuses to be what he is.
Albert Camus
Image
Artistic creation is a demand for unity and a rejection of the world.
Albert Camus
Image
Forever I shall be a stranger to myself. In psychology as in logic, there are truths but no truth.
Albert Camus
Image
The opposite of an idealist is too often a man without love.
Albert Camus
Image
Truth is mysterious, elusive, always to be conquered. Liberty is dangerous, as hard to live with as it is elating. We must march toward these two goals, painfully but resolutely, certain in advance of our failings on so long a road.
Albert Camus
Image
Love cannot accept what it is. Everywhere on earth it cries out against kindness, compassion, intelligence, everything that leads to compromise. Love demands the impossible, the absolute, the sky on fire, inexhaustible springtime, life after death, and death itself transfigured into eternal life.
Albert Camus
Image
At the heart of all beauty lies something inhuman.
Albert Camus
Image
For there is merely bad luck in not being loved there is misfortune in not loving.
Albert Camus
Image
But all the long speeches, all the interminable days and hours that people had spent talking about my soul, had left me with the impression of a colorless swirling river that was making me dizzy.
Albert Camus
Image
I am not made for politics because I am incapable of wanting or accepting the death of the adversary.
Albert Camus
Image
Every ideology is contrary to human psychology.
Albert Camus
Image
To correct a natural indifference I was placed half-way between misery and the sun. Misery kept me from believing that all was well under the sun, and the sun taught me that history wasn't everything.
Albert Camus
Image
Blessed are the hearts that can bend they shall never be broken.
Albert Camus
Image
Every revolutionary ends up either by becoming an oppressor or a heretic.
Albert Camus
Image
There is no more futile punishment than futile and hopeless labor.
Albert Camus
Image
We all carry within us places of exile, our crimes, our ravages. Our task is not to unleash them on the world it is to transform them in ourselves and others.
Albert Camus

At any street corner the feeling of absurdity can strike any man in the face.
