Albert Camus
Image
Great feelings take with them their own universe, splendid or abject.
Albert Camus
Image
There can be no true goodness, nor true love, without the utmost clear-sightedness.
Albert Camus
Image
Murder is terribly exhausting.
Albert Camus
Image
I don't want to be a genius-I have enough problems just trying to be a man.
Albert Camus
Image
Whatever prevents you from doing your work has become your work.
Albert Camus
Image
To assert in any case that a man must be absolutely cut off from society because he is absolutely evil amounts to saying that society is absolutely good, and no-one in his right mind will believe this today.
Albert Camus
Image
Ah! my friend, for whomever is alone, without a god and without a master, the weight of time is terrible. One must then choose a master, God being out of style.
Albert Camus
Image
Metaphysical rebellion is a claim, motivated by the concept of a complete unity, against the suffering of life and death and a protest against the human condition both for its incompleteness, thanks to death, and its wastefulness, thanks to evil.
Albert Camus
Image
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
Image
Death means nothing to men like me. It's the event that proves them right.
Albert Camus
Image
An intellectual is someone whose mind watches itself.
Albert Camus
Image
Then we understand that rebellion cannot exist without a strange form of love. Those who find no rest in God or in history are condemned to live for those who, like themselves, cannot live in fact, for the humiliated.
Albert Camus
Image
Everything is true, and nothing is true!
Albert Camus
Image
The world I live in is loathsome to me, but I feel one with the men who suffer in it
Albert Camus
Image
What on earth prompted you to take a hand in this? I don't know. My… my code of morals, perhaps. Your code of morals. What code, if I may ask? Comprehension.
Albert Camus
Image
Some are created to love, while the others - to live.
Albert Camus
Image
Once one's up against it, the precise manner of one's death has obviously small importance.
Albert Camus
Image
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
Image
To correct a natural indifference I was placed half-way between misery and the sun. Misery kept me from believing that all was well under the sun, and the sun taught me that history wasn't everything.
Albert Camus
