More quotes by Albert Camus
We [Raymond and Meursault] stared at each other without blinking, and everything came to a stop there between the sea, the sand, and the sun, and the double silence of the flute and the water. It was then that I realized that you could either shoot or not shoot.
Albert Camus
I would rather not have upset him, but I couldn't see any reason to change my life. Looking back on it, I wasn't unhappy. When I was a student, I had lots of ambitions like that. But when I had to give up my studies I learned very quickly that none of it really mattered.
Albert Camus
She was wearing a pair of my pajamas with the sleeves rolled up. When she laughed I wanted her again. A minute later she asked me if I loved her. I told her it didn't mean anything but that I didn't think so. She looked sad. But as we were fixing lunch, and for no apparent reason, she laughed in such a way that I kissed her.
Albert Camus
No human being, even the most passionately loved and passionately loving, is ever in our possession.
Albert Camus
The most important thing you do everyday you live is deciding not to kill yourself.
Albert Camus
A stranger to myself and to the world, armed solely with a thought that negates itself as soon as it asserts, what is this condition in which I can have peace only by refusing to know and to live, in which the appetite for conquest bumps into walls that defy its assaults?
Albert Camus
Every revolutionary ends up either by becoming an oppressor or a heretic.
Albert Camus
Imagination offers people consolation for what they cannot be, and humor for what they actually are.
Albert Camus
A man devoid of hope and conscious of being so has ceased to belong to the future.
Albert Camus
Liberty is dangerous, as hard to get along with as it is exciting.
Albert Camus
Conscious of not being able to separate myself from my time, I have decided to become part of it.
Albert Camus
One cannot be a part-time nihilist.
Albert Camus
To me, art is not a solitary delight. It is a means of stirring the greatest number of men by providing them with a privileged image of our common joys and woes.
Albert Camus
Art, at least, teaches us that man cannot be explained by history alone and that he also finds a reason for his existence in the order of nature.
Albert Camus
We are all special cases.
Albert Camus
The innocent is the person who explains nothing
Albert Camus
The look of success, when it is worn a certain way, would infuriate a jackass.
Albert Camus
To govern means to pillage, as everyone knows.
Albert Camus
I had only a little time left and I didn't want to waste it on God.
Albert Camus
People have played on words and pretended to believe that refusing to grant a meaning to life necessarily leads to declaring that it is not worth living. In truth, there is no necessary common measure between these two judgments.
Albert Camus
