More quotes by Albert Camus
There is but one freedom, To put oneself right with death. After that everything is possible. I cannot force you to believe in God. Believing in God amounts to coming to terms with death. When you have accepted death, the problem of God will be solved, and not the reverse.
Albert Camus
Finally, and most of all, words failed him.
Albert Camus
But what does it mean, the plague? It's life, that's all.
Albert Camus
The only serious question in life is whether to kill yourself or not.
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
There are crimes of passion and crimes of logic. The boundary between them is not clearly defined.
Albert Camus
We must stitch up what has been torn apart, render justice imaginable in the world which is so obviously unjust, make happiness meaningful for nations poisoned by the misery of this century. Naturally, it is a superhuman task. But tasks are called superhuman when men take a long time to complete them, that is all.
Albert Camus
But - I cannot make a choice. I have my own sorrow, but I suffer with him, too I share his pain. I understand all - that is my trouble.
Albert Camus
To begin with, poor people´s memory is less nourished than that of a rich it has fewer landmarks in space because they seldom leave the place where they live, and fewer reference points in time throughtout lives that are grey and featureless.
Albert Camus
The evil that is in the world always comes of ignorance, and good intentions may do as much harm as malevolence, if they lack understanding.
Albert Camus
…there's no question of heroism in all this. It's a matter of common decency. That's an idea which may make some people smile, but the only means of fighting a plague is - common decency.
Albert Camus
Human relationships always help us to carry on because they always presuppose a future.
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
Yes, everything is simple. It's people who complicate things.
Albert Camus
Truly fertile Music, the only kind that will move us, that we shall truly appreciate, will be a Music conducive to Dream, which banishes all reason and analysis. One must not wish first to understand and then to feel. Art does not tolerate Reason.
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
Democracy is not the law of the majority but the protection of the minority.
Albert Camus
The look of success, when it is worn a certain way, would infuriate a jackass.
Albert Camus
A man who has become conscious of the absurd is for ever bound to it.
Albert Camus
I was absent at the moment I took up the most space.
Albert Camus
