More quotes by Albert Camus

Albert Camus
We are all special cases.
Albert Camus
He seemed so certain about everything, didn't he? And yet none of his certainties was worth one hair of a woman's head. He wasn't even sure he was alive, because he was living like a dead man.
Albert Camus
It is the job of thinking people not to be on the side of the executioners.
Albert Camus
In the past, the poverty they shared had a certain sweetness about it. When the end of the day came and they would eat their dinner in silence with the oil lamp between them, there was a secret joy in such simplicity, such retrenchment.
Albert Camus
It is easy to shield the outer body from poisoned arrows, but it is impossible to shield the mind from the poisoned darts that originate within itself. Greed, anger, foolishness and the infatuations of egoism - these four poisoned darts originate within the mind and infect it with deadly poison.
Albert Camus
The loss of love is the loss of all rights, even though one had them all.
Albert Camus
In order to be created, a work of art must first make use of the dark forces of the soul
Albert Camus
But who would dare condemn me in this world with no judges, where no one is innocent!
Albert Camus

Albert Camus
Revolt and revolution both wind up at the same crossroads: the police, or folly.
Albert Camus
It's not the struggle that makes us artists, but Art that makes us struggle.
Albert Camus
A loveless world is a dead world.
Albert Camus
The artist forges himself to the others, midway between the beauty he cannot do without and the community he cannot tear himself away from. That is why true artists scorn nothing: they are obliged to understand rather than to judge.
Albert Camus
More and more, when faced with the world of men, the only reaction is one of individualism. Man alone is an end unto himself. Everything one tries to do for the common good ends in failure.
Albert Camus
The most elementary form of rebellion, paradoxically , expresses an aspiration for order .
Albert Camus
As for Hitler, his professed religion unhesitatingly juxtaposed the God-Providence and Valhalla. Actually his god was an argument at a political meeting and a manner of reaching an impressive climax at the end of speeches.
Albert Camus
I have always felt I lived on the high seas, threatened, at the heart of a royal happiness.
Albert Camus
Do not wait for the Last Judgment. It takes place every day.
Albert Camus
With rebellion, awareness is born
Albert Camus
