More quotes by Albert Camus

Albert Camus
There is but one freedom, to put oneself right with death. After that everything is possible.
Albert Camus
I don't want to be a genius-I have enough problems just trying to be a man.
Albert Camus

Albert Camus
The main thing is that everything become simple, easy enough for a child to understand.
Albert Camus

Albert Camus
The future is the only kind of property that the masters willingly concede to the slaves.
Albert Camus
Whoever today speaks of human existence in terms of power, efficiency, and historical tasks is an actual or potential assassin.
Albert Camus
For if I try to seize this self of which I feel sure, if I try to define and to summarize it, it is nothing but water slipping through my fingers.
Albert Camus
Those who write clearly have readers.
Albert Camus
And so I learned that familiar paths traced in the dusk of summer evenings may lead as well to prison as to innocent untroubled sleep.
Albert Camus
It was in Spain that [my generation] learned that one can be right and yet be beaten, that force can vanquish spirit, that there are times when courage is not its own recompense. It is this, doubtless, which explains why so many, the world over, feel the Spanish drama as a personal tragedy.
Albert Camus
I draw from the Absurd three consequences: my revolt, my liberty, my passion.
Albert Camus
If man is reduced to being nothing but a character in history, he has no other choice but to subside into the sound and fury of acompletely irrational history or to endow history with the form of human reason.
Albert Camus
