More quotes by Albert Camus
They knew now that if there is one thing one can always yearn for, and sometimes attain, it is human love.
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
My life was lucky so that I met, I loved (and disappointed) only outstanding people.
Albert Camus
Everything considered, a determined soul will always manage.
Albert Camus
Absolute justice is achieved by the suppression of all contradiction, therefore it destroys freedom.
Albert Camus
He knew now that it was his own will to happiness which must make the next move. But if he was to do so, he realized that he must come to terms with time, that to have time was at once the most magnificent and the most dangerous of experiments. Idleness is fatal only to the mediocre.
Albert Camus
Your success and happiness are forgiven you only if you generously consent to share them. But to be happy it is essential not to be too concerned with others. Consequently, there is no escape. Happy and judged, or absolved and wretched.
Albert Camus
An intellectual is someone whose mind watches itself.
Albert Camus
There can be no question of masking the evidence, of suppressing the absurd by denying one of the terms of its equation. It is essential to know whether one can live with it or whether, on the other hand, logic commands one to die of it.
Albert Camus
Human relationships always help us to carry on because they always presuppose further developments, a future - and also because we live as if our only task was precisely to have relationships with other people.
Albert Camus
The future is the only kind of property that the masters willingly concede to the slaves.
Albert Camus
Great feelings take with them their own universe, splendid or abject.
Albert Camus
I grew up with the sea, and poverty for me was sumptuous then I lost the sea and found all luxuries gray and poverty unbearable.
Albert Camus
I have never been able, really, to regret anything in all my life. I have always been far much too absorbed in the present moment or the immediate future to think back.
Albert Camus
On the ridge where the great artist moves forward, every step is an adventure, an extreme risk. In that risk, however, and only there, lays the freedom of Art.
Albert Camus
What gives value to travel is fear. It is a fact that, at a certain moment, when we are so far from our own country, we are seized by a vague fear and an instinctive desire to go back to the protection of old habits. I look upon it more as an occasion for testing.
Albert Camus
And then came human beings humans wanted to cling but there was nothing to cling to.
Albert Camus
Intelligence in chains loses in lucidity what it gains in intensity.
Albert Camus
After another moment's silence she mumbled that I was peculiar, that that was probably why she loved me but that one day I might disgust her for the very same reason.
Albert Camus
The absurd is sin without God.
Albert Camus
