I can feel this heart inside me and I conclude it exists. I can touch this world and I also conclude that it exists. All my knowledge ends at this point. The rest is hypothesis.

More quotes by Albert Camus

Image
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
Image
Rebellion cannot exist without a strange form of love.
Albert Camus
Image
To feel absolutely right is the beginning of the end.
Albert Camus
Image
When one has extensively pondered about men, as a career or as a vocation, one sometimes feels nostalgic for primates. At least they do not have ulterior motives.
Albert Camus
Image
There is no frontier between being and appearing.
Albert Camus
Image
The spirit of rebellion can only exist in a society where a theoretical equality conceals great factual inequalities. The problem of rebellion, therefore, has no meaning except within our own Western society.
Albert Camus
Image
Art does not tolerate reason.
Albert Camus
Image
After all manner of professors have done their best for us, the place we are to get knowledge is in books. The true university of these days is a collection of books.
Albert Camus
Image
For the absurd man, it is not a matter of explaining and solving, but of experiencing and describing. Everything begins with lucid indifference.
Albert Camus
Image
The act of love is a confession.
Albert Camus
Image
We are all exceptional cases. We all want to appeal against something! Each of us insists on being innocent at all cost, even if he has to accuse the whole human race and heaven itself.
Albert Camus
Image
To abandon oneself to principles is really to die - and to die for an impossible love which is the contrary of love.
Albert Camus
Image
For there is merely bad luck in not being loved there is misfortune in not loving.
Albert Camus
Image
I was comfortable in all, I admit, but at the same time, nothing satisfied me. Each joy made me seek another.
Albert Camus
Image
Do you believe in God, doctor? No - but what does that really mean? I'm fumbling in the dark, struggling to make something out. But I've long ceased finding that original.
Albert Camus
Image
What's natural is the microbe. All the rest-heath, integrity, purity (if you like)-is a product of the human will, of a vigilance that must never falter. The good man, the man who infects hardly anyone, is the man who has the fewest lapses of attention.
Albert Camus
Image
Murder is terribly exhausting.
Albert Camus
Image
One always has exaggerated ideas about what one doesn't know.
Albert Camus
Image
For if there is a sin against life, it consists perhaps not so much in despairing of life as in hoping for another life and in eluding the implacable grandeur of this life.
Albert Camus
Image
You will always win if you make an effort, no matter how much. However, if you failed it means you were too lazy.
Albert Camus
