More quotes by Albert Camus
They knew now that if there is one thing one can always yearn for, and sometimes attain, it is human love.
Albert Camus
If there is a soul, it is a mistake to believe that it is given to us fully created. It is created here, throughout a whole life. And living is nothing else but that long and painful bringing forth.
Albert Camus
I have no friends, I only have accomplices now. On the other hand, my accomplices are more numerous than my friends: they are the human race.
Albert Camus
Truth, like light, is blinding. Lies, on the other hand, are a beautiful dusk, which enhances the value of each object.
Albert Camus
We continue to shape our personality all our life. If we knew ourselves perfectly, we should die.
Albert Camus
I should like to be able to love my country and still love justice.
Albert Camus
There is but one truly serious philosophical problem and that is suicide. Judging whether life is or is not worth living amounts to answering the fundamental question of philosophy. All the rest — whether or not the world has three dimensions, whether the mind has nine or twelve categories — comes afterwards. These are games one must first answer.
Albert Camus
There is but one freedom, to put oneself right with death. After that everything is possible.
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
Revolt and revolution both wind up at the same crossroads: the police, or folly.
Albert Camus
To stay or to go, it amounted to the same thing.
Albert Camus
If something is going to happen to me, I want to be there.
Albert Camus
Democracy is not the law of the majority but the protection of the minority.
Albert Camus
To know oneself, one should assert oneself.
Albert Camus
Our reason has driven all away. Alone at last, we end up ruling over a desert.
Albert Camus
At a certain level of suffering or injustice no one can do anything for anyone. Pain is solitary.
Albert Camus
Men cry because things are not what they ought to be.
Albert Camus
When there is no hope, one must invent hope.
Albert Camus
The absurd is sin without God.
Albert Camus
Forever I shall be a stranger to myself. In psychology as in logic, there are truths but no truth.
Albert Camus
