More quotes by Albert Camus
What is a firm hand to me, of what use to me is this astonishing power if I cannot change the order of things, if I cannot make the sun set in the east, that suffering diminish and that beings no longer die?
Albert Camus
Where would his torture be, indeed, if at every step the hope of succeeding upheld him?
Albert Camus
I should like to be able to love my country and still love justice.
Albert Camus
Can one be a saint if God does not exist? That is the only concrete problem I know of today.
Albert Camus
Yes, there was an element of abstraction and unreality in misfortune. But when an abstraction starts to kill you, you have to get to work on it.
Albert Camus
It's better to bet on this life than on the next.
Albert Camus
Yes, everything is simple. It's people who complicate things.
Albert Camus
Man is an idea, and a precious small idea once he turns his back on love.
Albert Camus
Truly fertile Music, the only kind that will move us, that we shall truly appreciate, will be a Music conducive to Dream, which banishes all reason and analysis. One must not wish first to understand and then to feel. Art does not tolerate Reason.
Albert Camus
Although it was the middle of winter, I finally realized that, within me, summer was inextinguishable.
Albert Camus
If we understood the enigmas of life there would be no need for art.
Albert Camus
It occurred to me that anyway one more Sunday was over that Maman was buried now, that I was going back to work, and that, really, nothing had changed.
Albert Camus
A nihilist is not one who believes in nothing , but one who does not believe in what exists.
Albert Camus
One recognizes one's course by discovering the paths that stray from it.
Albert Camus
Some are created to love, while the others - to live.
Albert Camus
Men and women consume one another rapidly in what is called the act of love, or else settle down to a mild habit of conjugality. We seldom find a mean between these two extremes.
Albert Camus
Mistakes are joyful, truth infernal.
Albert Camus
There is but one truly serious philosophical problem and that is suicide. Judging whether life is or is not worth living amounts to answering the fundamental question of philosophy. All the rest — whether or not the world has three dimensions, whether the mind has nine or twelve categories — comes afterwards. These are games one must first answer.
Albert Camus
The contradiction is this: man rejects the world as it is, without accepting the necessity of escaping it. In fact, men cling to the world and by far the majority do not want to abandon it.
Albert Camus
The harshest winter finds an invincible summer in us.
Albert Camus
