More quotes by Albert Camus
Artistic creation is a demand for unity and a rejection of the world.
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
Democracy is not the law of the majority but the protection of the minority.
Albert Camus
To those who despair of everything reason cannot provide a faith, but only passion, and in this case it must be the same passion that lay at the root of the despair, namely humiliation and hatred.
Albert Camus
Always go too far, because that's where you'll find the truth
Albert Camus
To feel absolutely right is the beginning of the end.
Albert Camus

Albert Camus
Nothing in life is worth, turning your back on, if you love it.
Albert Camus
I realized people would soon forget me once I was dead. I couldn't even say that this was hard to stomach really, there's no idea to which one doesn't get acclimatized in time.
Albert Camus
I do not want to believe that death is the gateway to another life. For me, it is a closed door. I do not say it is a step we must all take, but that it is a horrible and dirty adventure.
Albert Camus
If those whom we begin to love could know us as we were before meeting them they could perceive what they have made of us.
Albert Camus
Whoever gives nothing, has nothing. The greatest misfortune is not to be unloved, but not to love.
Albert Camus
Women are all we know of paradise on this earth.
Albert Camus
It is a well-known fact that we always recognize our homeland at the moment we are about to lose it.
Albert Camus
But,' I reminded myself, 'it's common knowledge that life isn't worth living, anyhow.
Albert Camus
All I maintain is that on this earth there are pestilences and there are victims, and it's up to us, so far as possible, not to join forces with the pestilences. That may sound simple to the point of childishness I can't judge if it's simple, but I know it's true.
Albert Camus
I would rather not have upset him, but I couldn't see any reason to change my life. Looking back on it, I wasn't unhappy. When I was a student, I had lots of ambitions like that. But when I had to give up my studies I learned very quickly that none of it really mattered.
Albert Camus
Everybody knows that pestilences have a way of recurring in the world yet somehow we find it hard to believe in ones that crash down on our heads from a blue sky.
Albert Camus
In the light, the earth remains our first and our last love. Our brothers are breathing under the same sky as we justice is a living thing. Now is born that strange joy which helps one live and die, and which we shall never again postpone to a later time.
Albert Camus
