More quotes by Albert Camus
Today we are always as ready to judge as we are to fornicate.
Albert Camus
The act of love is a confession.
Albert Camus
I have a good, hearty laugh and an energetic handshake, and those are trump cards.
Albert Camus
What the world requires of the Christians is that they should continue to be Christians.
Albert Camus
I understood, by dint of digging into my memories, that modesty helped me to shine, humility helped me to triumph and virtue to oppress.
Albert Camus
Do not wait for the Last Judgment. It takes place every day.
Albert Camus
Mostly, I could tell, I made him feel uncomfortable. He didn't understand me, and he was sort of holding it against me. I felt the urge to reassure him that I was like everybody else, just like everybody else. But really there wasn't much point, and I gave up the idea out of laziness.
Albert Camus
Man is an idea, and a precious small idea once he turns his back on love.
Albert Camus
Existence is illusory and it is eternal.
Albert Camus
When the soul suffers too much, it develops a taste for misfortune.
Albert Camus

Albert Camus
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
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
Where there is no hope, we must invent it.
Albert Camus
Like great works, deep feelings always mean more than they are conscious of saying.
Albert Camus
It is not your paintings I like, it is your painting.
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
I rebel therefore I exist.
Albert Camus
The desire for possession is insatiable, to such a point that it can survive even love itself. To love, therefore, is to sterilize the person one loves.
Albert Camus
Have pity, Lord, on those who love and are separated.
Albert Camus
