More quotes by Albert Camus
Man wants to live, but it is useless to hope that this desire will dictate all his actions.
Albert Camus

Albert Camus

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

Albert Camus
Peace is the only battle worth waging.
Albert Camus
In the end, we would like not to be guilty while at the same time being dispensed of the effort of purifying ourselves. Not enough cynicism and not enough virtue.
Albert Camus
All I know of morality I learned from football
Albert Camus
The truth is that everyone is bored, and devotes himself to cultivating habits.
Albert Camus
Great feelings take with them their own universe, splendid or abject.

Your successes and happiness are forgiven you only if you generously consent to share them.
Albert Camus
