More quotes by Albert Camus
I was always able to understand my friend who decided to quit smoking and who, through an effort of will, succeeded in doing so. One morning, he opened the newspaper, read that the first H- bomb had exploded, found out about the bomb's admirable effects and went straight to the tobacconist's.
Albert Camus
Generally, I like all islands. There, it is easier to rule.
Albert Camus
If there is a soul, it is a mistake to believe that it is given to us fully created. It is created here, throughout a whole life. And living is nothing else but that long and painful bringing forth.
Albert Camus
There can be no question of holding forth on ethics. I have seen people behave badly with great morality and I note every day that integrity has no need of rules
Albert Camus
I had been right I was still right I was always right. I had lived my life one way and I could just as well lived it another. I had done this and I hadn t done that. I hadn t done this thing and I had done another. And so?
Albert Camus

Albert Camus
There is no more futile punishment than futile and hopeless labor.
Albert Camus
Against eternal injustice, man must assert justice, and to protest against the universe of grief, he must create happiness.
Albert Camus
The absurd is a shadow cast over everything we do and even if we try to live life as if it has meaning as if there are reasons for doing things the absurd will linger in the back of our minds as a nagging doubt that perhaps there is no point.
Albert Camus
Truth is not a virtue, but a passion. It is never charitable.
Albert Camus
Once in the midst of a seemingly endless winter, I discovered within myself an invincible spring.
Albert Camus
It was previously a question of finding out whether or not life had to have a meaning to be lived. It now becomes clear on the contrary that it will be lived all the better if it has no meaning
Albert Camus
Freedom is the right to never have to lie.
Albert Camus
Those who lack the courage will always find a philosophy to justify it.
Albert Camus
Happiness and the absurd are two sons of the same earth. They are inseparable.
Albert Camus
