More quotes by 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
I conceived at least one great love in my life, of which I was always the object.
Albert Camus
Alas, after a certain age every man is responsible for his face.
Albert Camus
What on earth prompted you to take a hand in this? I don't know. My… my code of morals, perhaps. Your code of morals. What code, if I may ask? Comprehension.
Albert Camus
Whoever gives nothing, has nothing. The greatest misfortune is not to be unloved, but not to love.
Albert Camus
All systems of morality are based on the idea that an action has consequences that legitimize or cancel it. A mind imbued with the absurd merely judges that those consequences must be considered calmly.
Albert Camus
Art does not tolerate reason.
Albert Camus
How do you put everyone in the pool, so you have the right to dry yourself in the sun?
Albert Camus
By giving too much importance to fine actions one may end by paying an indirect but powerful tribute to evil, because in so doing one implies that such fine actions are only valuable because they are rare, and that malice or indifference are far more common motives in the actions of men.
Albert Camus
I realized people would soon forget me once I was dead. I couldn't even say that this was hard to stomach really, there's no idea to which one doesn't get acclimatized in time.
Albert Camus
Crime too is a form of solitude, even if one thousand get together to commit it. And it is right for me to die alone, after having lived and killed alone.
Albert Camus
But it's not easy. I've been thinking it over for years. While we loved each other we didn't need words to make ourselves understood. But people don't love forever. A time came when I should have found the words to keep her with me, only I couldn't.
Albert Camus
Every writer, big or small, needs to say or write that the genius is always hissed at by his contemporaries. Naturally, this is not true, it happens only occasionally and often by chance. But this need within the writer is enlightening.
Albert Camus
Without freedom there is no art.
Albert Camus
One must imagine Sisyphus happy.
Albert Camus
I know of only one duty, and that is to love.
Albert Camus
A lot of jobs don't allow you to be who you are. There is dignity in work only when it is work freely accepted.
Albert Camus
Life is the sum of your choices.
Albert Camus
What is human in me is not what is best in me. What is human in me is that I desire, and to obtain what I desire, I believe I would crush anything that stood in my way.
Albert Camus
The first choice an artist makes is precisely to be an artist, and if he chooses to be an artist it is in consideration of what he is himself and because of a certain idea he has of art
