More quotes by Albert Camus
I longed to be forgotten in order to be able to complain to myself.
Albert Camus
Sometimes, from beyond the skycrapers, the cry of a tugboat finds you in your insomnia, and you remember that this desert of iron and cement is an island.
Albert Camus
Maman used to say that you can always find something to be happy about. In my prison, when the sky turned red and a new day slipped into my cell, I found out that she was right.
Albert Camus
I had the whole sky in my eyes and it was blue and gold.
Albert Camus
To those who despair of everything reason cannot provide a faith, but only passion, and in this case it must be the same passion that lay at the root of the despair, namely humiliation and hatred.
Albert Camus
Love is the kind of illness that does not spare the intelligent or the dull.
Albert Camus
Do not be afraid of spending quality time by yourself. Find meaning or don’t find meaning but “steal” some time and give it freely and exclusively to your own self. Opt for privacy and solitude. That doesn’t make you antisocial or cause you to reject the rest of the world. But you need to breathe. And you need to be.
Albert Camus
Ah, mon cher, for anyone who is alone, without God and without a master, the weight of days is dreadful.
Albert Camus
We all carry within us places of exile, our crimes, our ravages. Our task is not to unleash them on the world it is to transform them in ourselves and others.
Albert Camus
On certain mornings, as we turn a corner, an exquisite dew falls on our heart and then vanishes. But the freshness lingers, and this, always, is what the heart needs. The earth must have risen in just such a light the morning the world was born.
Albert Camus
I felt as though I was partly unlearning what i had never learned and yet knew so well: I mean, how to live.
Albert Camus
The great courage is to stare as squarely at the light as at death.
Albert Camus
Whoever today speaks of human existence in terms of power, efficiency, and historical tasks is an actual or potential assassin.
Albert Camus
I felt as I hadn't felt for ages. I had a foolish desire to burst into tears. for the first time I'd realized how all these people loathed me.
Albert Camus
We are all exceptional cases. We all want to appeal against something! Each of us insists on being innocent at all cost, even if he has to accuse the whole human race and heaven itself.
Albert Camus
We don't have the time to completely be ourselves. We only have the room to be happy.
Albert Camus
The evil that is in the world always comes of ignorance, and good intentions may do as much harm as malevolence, if they lack understanding.
Albert Camus
No, Father, I've a very different idea of love. And until my dying day I shall refuse to love a scheme of things in which children are put to torture.
Albert Camus
The spirit of rebellion can only exist in a society where a theoretical equality conceals great factual inequalities. The problem of rebellion, therefore, has no meaning except within our own Western society.
Albert Camus
You cannot acquire experience by making experiments. You cannot create experience. You must undergo it.
Albert Camus
