More quotes by Albert Camus
Do not be afraid of spending quality time by yourself. Find meaning or don’t find meaning but “steal” some time and give it freely and exclusively to your own self. Opt for privacy and solitude. That doesn’t make you antisocial or cause you to reject the rest of the world. But you need to breathe. And you need to be.
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
There can be no true goodness, nor true love, without the utmost clear-sightedness.
Albert Camus
Thoughts of suicide have got me through many a bad night.
Albert Camus
Ah! my friend, for whomever is alone, without a god and without a master, the weight of time is terrible. One must then choose a master, God being out of style.
Albert Camus
There is no more futile punishment than futile and hopeless labor.
Albert Camus
Outside of that single fatality of death, everything, joy or happiness, is liberty.
Albert Camus
And for all his life it would be kindness and love that made him cry, never pain or persecution, which on the contrary only reinforced his spirit and his resolution.
Albert Camus
Everyone would like to behave like a pagan, with everyone else behaving like a Christian.
Albert Camus
Tout re volutionnaire finit en oppresseur ou en he re tique. Every revolutionary ends as an oppressor or a heretic.
Albert Camus
What the world expects of Christians is that Christians should speak out, loud and clear... in such a way that never a doubt, never the slightest doubt, could rise in the heart of the simplest man.
Albert Camus
They came to know the incorrigible sorrow of all prisoners and exiles, which is to live in company with a memory that serves no purpose.
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
Cruel irony, the poor man tormented with hunger feeds those who plead his case.
Albert Camus
Great novelists are philosopher novelists - that is, the contrary of thesis-writers.
Albert Camus
After all perhaps the greatness of art lies in the perpetual tension between beauty and pain, the love of men and the madness of creation, unbearable solitude and the exhausting crowd, rejection and consent.
Albert Camus
We spend our days in deliberating, and we end them without coming to any resolve.
Albert Camus
The most knowledgeable person in one domain may be the most ignorant in another.
Albert Camus
And I too, felt ready to start life all over again. It was as if that great rush of anger had washed me clean, emptied me of hope, and, gazing up at the dark sky spangled with its signs and stars, for the first time, the first, I laid my heart open to the benign indifference of the universe.
Albert Camus
One grows out of pity when it's useless.
Albert Camus
