More quotes by Albert Camus
Integrity has no need of rules.
Albert Camus

Albert Camus
Art and revolt will die only with the last man.
Albert Camus
I draw from the Absurd three consequences: my revolt, my liberty, my passion.
Albert Camus
So all a man could win in the conflict between plague and life was knowledge and memories.
Albert Camus
An intellectual? Yes. And never deny it. An intellectual is someone whose mind watches itself. I like this, because I am happy to be both halves, the watcher and the watched. Can they be brought together? This is a practical question. We must get down to it. I despise intelligence really means: I cannot bear my doubts.
Albert Camus

Albert Camus
Revolt and revolution both wind up at the same crossroads: the police, or folly.
Albert Camus
Heroism is accessible. Happiness is more difficult.
Albert Camus
The purpose of a writer is to keep civilization from destroying itself.
Albert Camus
Metaphysical rebellion is a claim, motivated by the concept of a complete unity, against the suffering of life and death and a protest against the human condition both for its incompleteness, thanks to death, and its wastefulness, thanks to evil.
Albert Camus
As soon as one does not kill oneself, one must keep silent about life.
Albert Camus
The soul of a murderer is blind
Albert Camus
What on earth prompted you to take a hand in this? I don't know. My… my code of morals, perhaps. Your code of morals. What code, if I may ask? Comprehension.
Albert Camus
At one time or another all normal people have wished their loved ones were dead.
Albert Camus
No ends, simply means.
Albert Camus
To write is to become disinterested. There is a certain renunciation in art.
Albert Camus
The absurd is essentially a divorce. It lies in neither of the elements compared it is born of their confrontation.
Albert Camus
