More quotes by Albert Camus
Our civilization survives in the complacency of cowardly or malignant minds -- a sacrifice to the vanity of aging adolescents
Albert Camus
The future is the only transcendental value for men without God.
Albert Camus
We are not certain, we are never certain. If we were we could reach some conclusions, and we could, at last, make others take us seriously.
Albert Camus
The truth is that everyone is bored, and devotes himself to cultivating habits.
Albert Camus

Albert Camus
Men are convinced of your arguments, your sincerity, and the seriousness of your efforts only by your death.
Albert Camus
Finally, and most of all, words failed him.
Albert Camus
Mon cher ami, let's not give them any pretext, no matter how small, for judging us!!! Otherwise, we'll be left in shreds. We are forced to take the same precautions as the animal trainer.

Albert Camus
No one who lives in the sunlight of gratitude that things aren't worse makes a failure of his or her life.

Albert Camus
I felt the urge to reassure him that I was like everybody else, just like everybody else.
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
You cannot create experience. You must undergo it.
Albert Camus
People hasten to judge in order not to be judged themselves.
Albert Camus
His own faith, however, was not lacking in virtues since it consisted in acknowledging obscurely that he would be granted much without ever deserving anything.
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
Camus himself described this work as 'an attempt to understand the time I live in'.
Albert Camus
The absurd is the essential concept and the first truth.
Albert Camus
