More quotes by Albert Camus
One of the only coherent philosophical positions is thus revolt. It is a constant confrontation between man and his own obscurity.
Albert Camus
After all, every murderer when he kills runs the risk of the most dreadful of deaths, whereas those who kill him risk nothing except promotion.
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
Their guilt made me eloquent because I was not its victim.
Albert Camus
In the world there is, parallel to the force of death and constraint, an enormous force of persuasion that is called culture.
Albert Camus
The slave begins by demanding justice and ends by wanting to wear a crown.
Albert Camus
Everything considered, a determined soul will always manage.
Albert Camus
In short, they were gambling on their luck, and luck is not to be coerced.
Albert Camus

Albert Camus
The day of my arrest I was first put in a room where there were already several other prisoners, most of them Arabs. They laughed when they saw me. Then they asked what I was in for. I said I'd killed an Arab and they were all silent
Albert Camus
If it adapts itself to what the majority of our society wants, art will be a meaningless recreation.
Albert Camus
It is impossible to give a clear account of the world, but art can teach us to reproduce it-just as the world reproduces itself in the course of its eternal gyrations. The primordial sea indefatigably repeats the same words and casts up the same astonished beings on the same sea-shore.
Albert Camus
To lose the touch of flowers and women's hands is the supreme separation.
Albert Camus
That must be wonderful I have no idea of what it means.
Albert Camus
Even when one sits in the prisoner's dock, it is interesting to hear talk about oneself.
Albert Camus
For rich people, the sky is just an extra, a gift of nature. The poor, on the other hand, can see it as it is, a gift of infinite grace.
Albert Camus
I make myself strict rules in order to correct my nature. But it is my nature that I finally obey.
Albert Camus
The principles which men give to themselves end by overwhelming their noblest intentions.
Albert Camus
If we believe in nothing, if nothing has any meaning and if we can affirm no values whatsoever, then everything is possible and nothing has any importance.
Albert Camus
But what does it mean, the plague? It's life, that's all.
Albert Camus
