More quotes by Albert Camus
I do not want to believe that death is the gateway to another life. For me, it is a closed door. I do not say it is a step we must all take, but that it is a horrible and dirty adventure.
Albert Camus
I was comfortable in all, I admit, but at the same time, nothing satisfied me. Each joy made me seek another.
Albert Camus
All that I know most surely about morality and obligations I owe to football.
Albert Camus
Man is the only creature that refuses to be what he is.
Albert Camus
A true masterpiece does not tell everything.
Albert Camus
... there are two types of happiness and I have chosen that of the murderers. For I am happy. There was a time when I thought I had reached the limit of distress. Beyond that limit, there is a sterile and magnificent happiness.
Albert Camus
Capital punishment is the most premeditated of murders.
Albert Camus
Big tears of frustration and exhaustion were streaming down his cheeks. But because of all the wrinkles, they weren't dripping off. They spread out and ran together again, leaving a watery film over his ruined face.
Albert Camus
I know that man is capable of great deeds. But if he isn't capable of great emotion, well, he leaves me cold.
Albert Camus
A man who has become conscious of the absurd is for ever bound to it.
Albert Camus
I have never been able to renounce the light, the pleasure of being, and the freedom in which I grew up.
Albert Camus
You will never be able to experience everything. So, please, do poetical justice to your soul and simply experience yourself.
Albert Camus
... it is true that I do not respect [human life] more than I respect my own life. And if it is easy for me to kill, that is because it is difficult for me to die.
Albert Camus
Maman used to say that you can always find something to be happy about.
Albert Camus
If those whom we begin to love could know us as we were before meeting them they could perceive what they have made of us.
Albert Camus
The urge to revolt is one of the essential dimensions of human nature.
Albert Camus
I see many people die because they judge that life is not worth living. I see others paradoxically getting killed for the ideas or illusions that give them a reason for living (what is called a reason for living is also an excellent reason for dying). I therefore conclude that the meaning of life is the most urgent of questions.
Albert Camus
One plays at being immortal and after a few weeks one doesn't even know whether or not one can hang on till the next day.
Albert Camus
There is not one talent for living and another for creating. The same suffices for both. And one can be sure that the talent that could not produce but an artificial work could not sustain but a frivolous life.
Albert Camus
The truth is that everyone is bored, and devotes himself to cultivating habits.
Albert Camus
