More quotes by Albert Camus

Image
Human rebellion ends in metaphysical revolution. It progresses from appearances to acts, from the dandy to the revolutionary.
Albert Camus
Image
Methods of thought which claim to give the lead to our world in the name of revolution have become, in reality, ideologies of consent and not of rebellion.
Albert Camus
Image
The Byronic hero, incapable of love, or capable only of an impossible love, suffers endlessly. He is solitary, languid, his condition exhausts him. If he wants to feel alive, it must be in the terrible exaltation of a brief and destructive action.
Albert Camus
Image
He knew now that it was his own will to happiness which must make the next move. But if he was to do so, he realized that he must come to terms with time, that to have time was at once the most magnificent and the most dangerous of experiments. Idleness is fatal only to the mediocre.
Albert Camus
Image
Psychology is action, not thinking about oneself.
Albert Camus
Image
There can be no true goodness, nor true love, without the utmost clear-sightedness.
Albert Camus
Image
For who would dare to assert that eternal happiness can compensate for a single moment's human suffering
Albert Camus
Image
Happiness too is inevitable.
Albert Camus
Image
I do not believe in God and I am not an atheist.
Albert Camus
Image
To live is in itself a value judgment. To breathe is to judge.
Albert Camus
Image
Without freedom, no art art lives only on the restraints it imposes on itself, and dies of all others.
Albert Camus
Image
Nihilism is not only despair and negation, but above all the desire to despair and to negate.
Albert Camus
Image
When love ceases to be tragic it is something else and the individual again throws himself in search of tragedy.
Albert Camus
Image
The great courage is to stare as squarely at the light as at death.
Albert Camus
Image
Our civilization survives in the complacency of cowardly or malignant minds -- a sacrifice to the vanity of aging adolescents
Albert Camus
Image
No, Father, I've a very different idea of love. And until my dying day I shall refuse to love a scheme of things in which children are put to torture.
Albert Camus
Image
Something must happen that is the reason for most human relationships. Something must happen even servitude in love, in war, ordeath.
Albert Camus
Image
Ce que je sais de la morale, c'est au football que je le dois. (I know of morality, it is football that I owe.)
Albert Camus
Image
The love of God is a hard love. It demands total self-surrender, disdain of our human personality. And yet it alone can reconcile us to suffering and the deaths of children, it alone can justify them, since we cannot understand them, and we can only make God's will ours.
Albert Camus
Image
I said that the world is absurd, but I was too hasty. This world in itself is not reasonable, that is all that can be said. But what is absurd is the confrontation of this irrational and the wild longing for clarity whose call echoes in the human heart.
Albert Camus
