More quotes by Albert Camus
Retaliation is related to nature and instinct, not to law. Law, by definition, cannot obey the same rules as nature.
Albert Camus
Every man needs slaves like he needs clean air. To rule is to breathe, is it not? And even the most disenfranchised get to breathe. The lowest on the social scale have their spouses or their children.
Albert Camus
I hope the dogs don't bark tonight. I always think it's mine
Albert Camus
But what does it mean, the plague? It's life, that's all.
Albert Camus
The most loathsome materialism is not the kind people usually think of, but the sort that attempts to let dead ideas pass for living realities, diverting into sterile myths the stubborn and lucid attention we give to what we have within us that must forever die.
Albert Camus
Give up the tyranny of female charm.
Albert Camus
We have to live and let live in order to create what we are.
Albert Camus
A craving for freedom and independence is generated only in a man still living on hope.
Albert Camus
It takes time to live. Like any work of art, life needs to be thought about.
Albert Camus
A symbol always transcends the one who makes use of it and makes him say in reality more than he is aware of expressing.
Albert Camus
In order to exist, man must rebel.
Albert Camus
The great courage is to stare as squarely at the light as at death.
Albert Camus
Outside of that single fatality of death, everything, joy or happiness, is liberty.
Albert Camus
This very heart which is mine will forever remain indefinable to me. Between the certainty I have of my existence and the content I try to give to that assurance, the gap will never be filled. Forever I shall be a stranger to myself.
Albert Camus
Humans are creatures, who spent their lifes trying to convince themselves, that their existence is not absurd
Albert Camus
Men are never really willing to die except for the sake of freedom: therefore they do not believe in dying completely.
Albert Camus
Yes, and when the love of life disappears, no meaning can console us.
Albert Camus
In fact, other people create for lack of power. I, on the other hand, do not need a work: I live.
Albert Camus
I like these people swarming on the sidewalks, wedged into a little space of houses and canals, hemmed in by fogs, cold lands, and the sea streaming like a wet wash. I like them, for they are double. They are here and elsewhere.
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
