More quotes by Albert Camus
A man's work is nothing but this slow trek to rediscover, through the detours of art, those two or three great and simple images in whose presence his heart first opened.
Albert Camus
Find your happiness in yourself.
Albert Camus
Without work all life goes rotten.
Albert Camus
A man without ethics is a wild beast loosed upon this world.
Albert Camus
If one could only say just once: 'this is clear', all would be saved
Albert Camus
That's love, giving everything, sacrificing all without hope of return.
Albert Camus
If only nature is real and if, in nature, only desire and destruction are legitimate, then, in that all humanity does not suffice to assuage the thirst for blood, the path of destruction must lead to universal annihilation.
Albert Camus
In art, rebellion is consummated and perpetuated in the act of real creation, not in criticism or commentary.
Albert Camus
Does the end justify the means? That is possible. But what will justify the end? To that question, which historical thought leaves pending, rebellion replies: the means.
Albert Camus
Don't believe your friends when they ask you to be honest with them. All they really want is to be maintained in the good opinion they have of themselves.
Albert Camus
No code of ethics and no effort are justifiable a priori in the face of the cruel mathematics that command our condition.
Albert Camus
There is no shame in preferring happiness.
Albert Camus
Existence is illusory and it is eternal.
Albert Camus
For centuries the death penalty, often accompanied by barbarous refinements, has been trying to hold crime in check yet crime persists. Why? Because the instincts that are warring in man are not, as the law claims, constant forces in a state of equilibrium.
Albert Camus
It is normal to give away a little of one's life in order not to lose it all.
Albert Camus
On my way out I was even going to shake his hand, but I remembered just in time that I'd killed a man.
Albert Camus
The real passion of the twentieth century is servitude.
Albert Camus
It's not the struggle that makes us artists, but Art that makes us struggle.
Albert Camus
Lying is not only saying what isn't true. It is also, in fact especially, saying more than is true and, in the case of the human heart, saying more than one feels. We all do it, every day, to make life simpler.
Albert Camus
A profound thought is in a constant state of becoming it adopts the experience of a life and assumes its shape.
Albert Camus
