More quotes by Albert Camus
There is nothing abstract about pain. It is specific, it is real, and, when it is intense, it is world destroying.
Albert Camus
Every artist preserves deep within him a single source from which, throughout his lifetime, he draws what he is, and what he says. When the source dries up, the work withers and crumbles.
Albert Camus
Their guilt made me eloquent because I was not its victim.
Albert Camus
Those who weep for the happy periods which they encounter in history acknowledge what they want not the alleviation but the silencing of misery.
Albert Camus
Every great work makes the human face more admirable and richer, and this is its whole secret.
Albert Camus
It is not your paintings I like, it is your painting.
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
I know myself too well to believe in pure virtue.
Albert Camus
What’s true of all the evils in the world is true of plague as well. It helps men to rise above themselves.
Albert Camus

Albert Camus
He had opened his heart to the sublime indifference of the universe
Albert Camus
And real nobility (that of the heart) is based on scorn, courage, and profound indifference.
Albert Camus

Albert Camus
What I believe to be true I must therefore preserve. What seems to me so obvious, even against me, I must support.
Albert Camus
What would become of the world if the condemned started to confide their heartaches to the executioners?
Albert Camus
In fact, other people create for lack of power. I, on the other hand, do not need a work: I live.
Albert Camus
I may not have been sure about what really did interest me, but I was absolutely sure about what didn't.
Albert Camus
We rarely confide in those who are better than we are.
Albert Camus
He who despairs of the human condition is a coward, but he who has hope for it is a fool.
Albert Camus
No human being, even the most passionately loved and passionately loving, is ever in our possession.
Albert Camus
