More quotes by Albert Camus
Beginning to think is beginning to be undermined.
Albert Camus
If something is going to happen to me, I want to be there.
Albert Camus
Europe has lived on its contradictions, flourished on its differences, and, constantly transcending itself thereby, has created a civilization on which the whole world depends even when rejecting it. This is why I do not believe in a Europe unified under the weight of an ideology or of a technocracy that overlooked these differences.
Albert Camus
“To think the way you do,” he said smiling, “you have to be a man who lives either on a tremendous despair, or on a tremendous hope.” “On both, perhaps.”
Albert Camus
Sometimes, carrying on, just carrying on, is the superhuman achievement.
Albert Camus
Believe me, the hardest thing for a man to give up is that which he really doesn't want, after all.
Albert Camus
Love is the kind of illness that does not spare the intelligent or the dull.
Albert Camus
I am just coming out of five years of night, and this orgy of violent lights gives me for the first time the impression of a new continent. An enormous, 50-foot high Camel billboard : a GI with his mouth wide open blows enormous puffs of real smoke. So much bad taste hardly seems imaginable.
Albert Camus
I felt that I had been happy and that I was happy again. For everything to be consummated, for me to feel less alone, I had only to wish that there be a large crowd of spectators the day of my execution and that they greet me with cries of hate.
Albert Camus
The innocent is the person who explains nothing
Albert Camus
A man without ethics is a wild beast loosed upon this world.
Albert Camus
Purely historical thought is therefore nihilistic: it wholeheartedly accepts the evil of history and in this way is opposed to rebellion.
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
True debauchery is liberating because it creates no obligations. In it you possess only yourself, hence it remains the favorite pastime of the great lovers of their own person.
Albert Camus
Creating is living doubly. The groping, anxious quest of a Proust, his meticulous collecting of flowers, of wallpapers, and of anxieties, signifies nothing else.
Albert Camus
Yes, and when the love of life disappears, no meaning can console us.
Albert Camus
Once in the midst of a seemingly endless winter, I discovered within myself an invincible spring.
Albert Camus
There are always reasons for murdering a man. But there is no justification for his existence.
Albert Camus
Politics and the fate of mankind are formed by men without ideals and without greatness. Those who have greatness within them do not go in for politics.
Albert Camus
The truth is that everyone is bored, and devotes himself to cultivating habits.
Albert Camus
