This world, such as it is, is not tolerable. Therefore I need the moon, or happiness, or immortality, I need something which is perhaps demented, but which is not of this world.

More quotes by Albert Camus
For if there is a sin against life, it consists perhaps not so much in despairing of life as in hoping for another life and in eluding the implacable grandeur of this life.
Albert Camus
There is always a philosophy for lack of courage.
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
Nothing in life is worth, turning your back on, if you love it.
Albert Camus
We're going forward, but nothing changes.
Albert Camus
Truth is not a virtue, but a passion. It is never charitable.
Albert Camus
There are some individuals who have too strong a craving, a will, and a nostalgia for happiness ever to reach it. They always retain a bitter and passionate aftertaste, and that's the best they can hope for.
Albert Camus
Only it takes time to be happy. A lot of time. Happiness, too, is a long patience.
Albert Camus
In order to exist just once in the world, it is necessary never again to exist.
Albert Camus
In the vast reaches of the dry, cold night, thousands of stars were constantly appearing, and their sparkling icicles, loosened at once, began to slip gradually toward the horizon.
Albert Camus
Give up the tyranny of female charm.
Albert Camus
There are people who vindicate the world, who help others live just by their presence.
Albert Camus
The absurd is a shadow cast over everything we do and even if we try to live life as if it has meaning as if there are reasons for doing things the absurd will linger in the back of our minds as a nagging doubt that perhaps there is no point.
Albert Camus
Whoever gives nothing, has nothing. The greatest misfortune is not to be unloved, but not to love.
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
Beginning to think is beginning to be undermined.
Albert Camus
The tragedy is not that we are alone, but that we cannot be. At times I would give anything in the world to no longer be connected by anything to this universe of men.
Albert Camus
Accept life, take it as it is? Stupid. The means of doing otherwise? Far from our having to take it, it is life that possesses us and on occasion shuts our mouths.
Albert Camus
We must learn how to lend ourselves to dreaming when dreams lend themselves to us.
Albert Camus
History has shown that the less people read, the more books they buy.
