More quotes by Albert Camus
To be happy, we must not be too concerned with others.
Albert Camus
Basically, at the very bottom of life, which seduces us all, there is only absurdity, and more absurdity. And maybe that's what gives us our joy for living, because the only thing that can defeat absurdity is lucidity.
Albert Camus
The principle can be established that for a man who does not cheat what he believes to be true must determine his actions.
Albert Camus
Man cannot do without beauty, and this is what our era pretends to want to disregard.
Albert Camus
I am alive again, now that I can no longer stand to live.
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
You cannot acquire experience by making experiments. You cannot create experience. You must undergo it.
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
I know simply that the sky will last longer than I.
Albert Camus
After all manner of professors have done their best for us, the place we are to get knowledge is in books. The true university of these days is a collection of books.
Albert Camus
I do not want to found anything on the incomprehensible. I want to know whether I can live with what I know and with that alone.
Albert Camus
The look of success, when it is worn a certain way, would infuriate a jackass.
Albert Camus
When I look at my life and its secret colors, I feel like bursting into tears.
Albert Camus
I have a good, hearty laugh and an energetic handshake, and those are trump cards.
Albert Camus
He who despairs of the human condition is a coward, but he who has hope for it is a fool.
Albert Camus
To me, art is not a solitary delight. It is a means of stirring the greatest number of men by providing them with a privileged image of our common joys and woes.
Albert Camus
Every revolutionary ends up either by becoming an oppressor or a heretic.
Albert Camus
The absurd is sin without God.
Albert Camus
In art, rebellion is consummated and perpetuated in the act of real creation, not in criticism or commentary.
Albert Camus
…there's no question of heroism in all this. It's a matter of common decency. That's an idea which may make some people smile, but the only means of fighting a plague is - common decency.
Albert Camus
