More quotes by Albert Camus
Every great work makes the human face more admirable and richer, and this is its whole secret.
Albert Camus
I felt as though I was partly unlearning what i had never learned and yet knew so well: I mean, how to live.
Albert Camus
After all, every murderer when he kills runs the risk of the most dreadful of deaths, whereas those who kill him risk nothing except promotion.
Albert Camus
Man wants to live, but it is useless to hope that this desire will dictate all his actions.
Albert Camus
Man is the only creature that refuses to be what he is.
Albert Camus
True debauchery is liberating because it creates no obligations. In it you possess only yourself, hence it remains the favorite pastime of the great lovers of their own person.
Albert Camus
Stupidity has a knack of getting its way.
Albert Camus
Rebellion cannot exist without a strange form of love.
Albert Camus
In short, they were gambling on their luck, and luck is not to be coerced.
Albert Camus
Moreover, most people, assuming they had not altogether abandoned religious observances, or did not combine them naively with a thoroughly immoral way of living, had replace normal religious practice by more or less extravagant superstitions.
Albert Camus
Since the order of the world is shaped by death, mightn't it be better for God if we refuse to believe in Him, and struggle with all our might against death without raising our eyes towards the heaven where He sits in silence?
Albert Camus
Each generation doubtless feels called upon to reform the world. Mine knows that it will not reform it, but its task is perhaps even greater. It consists in preventing the world from destroying itself.
Albert Camus
Don't wait for the last judgment - it takes place every day.
Albert Camus
We used to wonder where war lived, what it was that made it so vile. And now we realize that we know where it lives... inside ourselves.
Albert Camus
And I too, felt ready to start life all over again. It was as if that great rush of anger had washed me clean, emptied me of hope, and, gazing up at the dark sky spangled with its signs and stars, for the first time, the first, I laid my heart open to the benign indifference of the universe.
Albert Camus
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
The loss of love is the loss of all rights, even though one had them all.
Albert Camus
A writer cannot put himself today in service of those who make history he is at the service of those who suffer it.
Albert Camus
They came to know the incorrigible sorrow of all prisoners and exiles, which is to live in company with a memory that serves no purpose.
Albert Camus
Most men are like me. They cannot live in a universe where the most bizarre thought can in one second enter into the realm of reality--where, most often, it does enter, like a knife in a heart.
Albert Camus
