More quotes by Albert Camus
I was always able to understand my friend who decided to quit smoking and who, through an effort of will, succeeded in doing so. One morning, he opened the newspaper, read that the first H- bomb had exploded, found out about the bomb's admirable effects and went straight to the tobacconist's.
Albert Camus
I am too much in love with my lies and hypocrisies not to confess them fervently.
Albert Camus
Against eternal injustice, man must assert justice, and to protest against the universe of grief, he must create happiness.
Albert Camus
Always go too far, because that's where you'll find the truth
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
I enjoyed my own nature to the fullest, and we all know there lies happiness, although, to soothe one another mutually, we occasionally pretend to condemn such joys as selfishness.
Albert Camus
... We need the sweet pain of anticipation to tell us we are really alive.
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
Happiness and the absurd are two sons of the same earth. They are inseparable.
Albert Camus
Camus himself described this work as 'an attempt to understand the time I live in'.
Albert Camus
There is but one freedom, To put oneself right with death. After that everything is possible. I cannot force you to believe in God. Believing in God amounts to coming to terms with death. When you have accepted death, the problem of God will be solved, and not the reverse.
Albert Camus
Where there is no hope, it is incumbent on us to invent it.
Albert Camus
For there is merely bad luck in not being loved there is misfortune in not loving.
Albert Camus
To stay or to go, it amounted to the same thing.
Albert Camus
Art does not tolerate reason.
Albert Camus
When silence or tricks of language contribute to maintaining an abuse that must be reformed or a suffering that can be relieved, then there is no other solution but to speak out and show the obscenity hidden under the verbal cloak.
Albert Camus
And for all his life it would be kindness and love that made him cry, never pain or persecution, which on the contrary only reinforced his spirit and his resolution.
Albert Camus
I hope the dogs don't bark tonight. I always think it's mine
Albert Camus
We don't have the time to completely be ourselves. We only have the room to be happy.
Albert Camus
Every rebellion implies some kind of unity.
Albert Camus
