More quotes by Albert Camus
The truth, as the light, makes blind.
Albert Camus
I don't want to be a genius-I have enough problems just trying to be a man.
Albert Camus
I should like to be able to love my country and still love justice.
Albert Camus
Autumn is a second spring when every leaf is a flower.
Albert Camus
It was previously a question of finding out whether or not life had to have a meaning to be lived. It now becomes clear on the contrary that it will be lived all the better if it has no meaning
Albert Camus
Man is always prey to his truths. Once he has admitted them, he cannot free himself from them.
Albert Camus
We are condemned to live together.
Albert Camus
what doesn't kill you make you stronger and stronger
Albert Camus
The human heart has a tiresome tendency to label as fate only what crushes it. But happiness likewise, in its way, is without reason, since it is inevitable.
Albert Camus
To be happy, we must not be too concerned with others.
Albert Camus
The certainty of a God giving meaning to life far surpasses in attractiveness the ability to behave badly with impunity. The choice would not be hard to make. But there is no choice and that is where the bitterness comes in. The absurd does not liberate it binds.
Albert Camus
Capital punishment is the most premeditated of murders.
Albert Camus
To two men living the same number of years, the world always provides the same sum of experiences. It is up to us to be conscious of them.
Albert Camus
...Any authentic creation is a gift to the future.
Albert Camus
The world in which we were called to exist was an absurd world, and there was no other in which we could take refuge.
Albert Camus
Men cry because things are not what they ought to be.
Albert Camus
People have played on words and pretended to believe that refusing to grant a meaning to life necessarily leads to declaring that it is not worth living. In truth, there is no necessary common measure between these two judgments.
Albert Camus
The world is unimportant and whoever recognizes this conquers his liberty.
Albert Camus
The only real progress lies in learning to be wrong all alone.
Albert Camus
The act of love . . . is a confession. Selfishness screams aloud, vanity shows off, or else true generosity reveals itself.
Albert Camus
