More quotes by 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
The words that reverberate for us at the confines of this long adventure of rebellion are not formulas for optimism, for which we have no possible use in the extremities of our unhappiness, but words of courage and intelligence which, on the shores of the eternal seas, even have the qualities of virtue.
Albert Camus
We are all special cases.
Albert Camus
The real passion of the twentieth century is servitude.
Albert Camus
From Paul to Stalin, the popes who have chosen Caesar have prepared the way for Caesars who quickly learn to despise popes.
Albert Camus
Whereas the Greeks gave to will the boundaries of reason, we have come to put the will's impulse in the very center of reason, which has, as a result, become deadly.
Albert Camus
I hope the dogs don't bark tonight. I always think it's mine
Albert Camus
These are facts the heart can feel yet they call for careful study before they become clear to the intellect.
Albert Camus
From Pandora's Box, where all the ills of humanity swarmed, the Greeks drew out hope after all the others, as the most dreadful of all. I know no more stirring symbol for, contrary to the general belief, hope equals resignation. And to live is not to resign oneself.
Albert Camus
Yes, everything is simple. It's people who complicate things.
Albert Camus
Always go too far, because that's where you'll find the truth
Albert Camus
Freedom is the right to never have to lie.
Albert Camus
Believe me, religions are on the wrong track the moment they moralize and fulminate commandments. God is not needed to create guilt or to punish. Our fellow men suffice, aided by ourselves.
Albert Camus
You always get exaggerated notions of things you don't know anything about.
Albert Camus
To be born to create, to love, to win at games is to be born to live in time of peace. But war teaches us to lose everything and become what we were not. It all becomes a question of style.
Albert Camus
It was previously a question of finding out whether or not life had to have a meaning to be lived. It now becomes clear on the contrary that it will be lived all the better if it has no meaning
Albert Camus
In that night alive with signs and stars, I opened myself to the gentle indifference of the world. Finding it so much like myself--like a brother, really--I felt that I had been happy and that I was happy again.
Albert Camus
Liberty is the right not to lie.
Albert Camus
Liberty is dangerous, as hard to get along with as it is exciting.
Albert Camus
How had I not seen that there was nothing more important than an execution, and that when you come right down to it, it was the only thing a man could truly be interested in?
Albert Camus
