More quotes by Albert Camus

Albert Camus
The opposite of an idealist is too often a man without love.
Albert Camus
he's incapable of suffering for a long time, or being happy for a long time. Which means that he's incapable of anything really worth while.
Albert Camus

Albert Camus
Nothing in life is worth, turning your back on, if you love it.
Albert Camus
In the light, the earth remains our first and our last love. Our brothers are breathing under the same sky as we justice is a living thing. Now is born that strange joy which helps one live and die, and which we shall never again postpone to a later time.
Albert Camus

Albert Camus
I always found misogyny vulgar and stupid, and I found almost all the women I have known to be my betters. However, placing them so high, I used them more often than I served them. How does one make sense of this?
Albert Camus
No doubt our love was still there, but quite simply it was unusable, heavy to carry, inert inside of us, sterile as crime or condemnation. It was no longer anything except a patience with no future and a stubborn wait.
Albert Camus
If those whom we begin to love could know us as we were before meeting them they could perceive what they have made of us.
Albert Camus
And for all his life it would be kindness and love that made him cry, never pain or persecution, which on the contrary only reinforced his spirit and his resolution.
Albert Camus
Can one be a saint if God does not exist? That is the only concrete problem I know of today.
Albert Camus
Man cannot do without beauty, and this is what our era pretends to want to disregard.
Albert Camus
Culture: the cry of men in face of their destiny.
Albert Camus
With rebellion, awareness is born
Albert Camus
A man is more a man through the things he keeps to himself than through those he says.
Albert Camus
The nobility of our calling will always be rooted in two commitments difficult to observe: refusal to lie about what we know, and resistance to oppression.
Albert Camus
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
Everybody knows life isn't worth living.
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
