More quotes by Albert Camus
You always get exaggerated notions of things you don't know anything about.
Albert Camus
I can feel this heart inside me and I conclude it exists. I can touch this world and I also conclude that it exists. All my knowledge ends at this point. The rest is hypothesis.
Albert Camus
I do not believe in God and I am not an atheist.
Albert Camus
There exists an obvious fact that seems utterly moral: namely, that a man is always prey to his truths. Once he has admitted them, he cannot free himself from them. One has to pay something. A man who has become conscious of the absurd is forever bound to it.
Albert Camus
God is not necessary to create culpability, or to punish. Our fellow men are enough for that, helped by ourselves.
Albert Camus
Having money is a way of being free of money.
Albert Camus
A man devoid of hope and conscious of being so has ceased to belong to the future.
Albert Camus
Do you believe in God, doctor? No - but what does that really mean? I'm fumbling in the dark, struggling to make something out. But I've long ceased finding that original.
Albert Camus

Albert Camus
The first choice an artist makes is precisely to be an artist, and if he chooses to be an artist it is in consideration of what he is himself and because of a certain idea he has of art
Albert Camus
...the habit of despair is worse than despair itself.
Albert Camus
The best are led to make greater demands upon themselves. As for those who succumb, they did not deserve to survive.
Albert Camus
Metaphysical rebellion is a claim, motivated by the concept of a complete unity, against the suffering of life and death and a protest against the human condition both for its incompleteness, thanks to death, and its wastefulness, thanks to evil.
Albert Camus
I don't want to be a genius-I have enough problems just trying to be a man.
Albert Camus
A loveless world is a dead world.
Albert Camus
Utopia is that which is in contradiction with reality.
Albert Camus
There is but one truly serious philosophical problem and that is suicide.
Albert Camus
What would become of the world if the condemned started to confide their heartaches to the executioners?
Albert Camus
The danger of lectures is that they create the illusion of teaching for teachers, and the illusion of learning for learners.
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
