More quotes by Albert Camus
To abandon oneself to principles is really to die - and to die for an impossible love which is the contrary of love.
Albert Camus
If nothing had any meaning, you would be right. But there is something that still has a meaning.
Albert Camus
The most loathsome materialism is not the kind people usually think of, but the sort that attempts to let dead ideas pass for living realities, diverting into sterile myths the stubborn and lucid attention we give to what we have within us that must forever die.
Albert Camus
There is no love of life without despair of life.
Albert Camus
We are not certain, we are never certain.
Albert Camus
... there are two types of happiness and I have chosen that of the murderers. For I am happy. There was a time when I thought I had reached the limit of distress. Beyond that limit, there is a sterile and magnificent happiness.
Albert Camus
A man without ethics is a wild beast loosed upon this world.
Albert Camus
The first progressive step for a mind overwhelmed by the strangeness of things is to realize that this feeling of strangeness is shared with all men and that human reality, in its entirety, suffers from the distance which separates it from the rest of the universe.
Albert Camus
Autumn is a second spring when every leaf is a flower.
Albert Camus
The myth of unlimited production brings war in its train as inevitably as clouds announce a storm.
Albert Camus
My chief occupation, despite appearances, has always been love.
Albert Camus
And so I learned that familiar paths traced in the dusk of summer evenings may lead as well to prison as to innocent untroubled sleep.
Albert Camus
What did it matter if he existed for two or for twenty years? Happiness was the fact that he had existed.
Albert Camus
Rebellion cannot exist without the feeling that somewhere, in some way, you are justified.
Albert Camus
For me, physical love has always been bound to an irresistible feeling of innocence and joy. Thus, I cannot love in tears but in exaltation.
Albert Camus
It is natural to give a clear view of the world after accepting the idea that it must be clear.
Albert Camus
I was tormented by my desire for a woman ... I thought so much about a woman, about women, about all the ones I had known, about all the circumstances in which I had enjoyed them, that my cell would be filled with their faces and crowded with my desires.
Albert Camus
Integrity has no need of rules.
Albert Camus
So the thing that bothered me most was that the condemned man had to hope the machine would work the first time.
Albert Camus
When a war breaks out, people say: It's too stupid it can't last long. But though a war may well be too stupid, that doesn't prevent its lasting. Stupidity has a knack of getting its way as we should see if we were not always so much wrapped up in ourselves.
Albert Camus
