More quotes by Albert Camus
I was comfortable in all, I admit, but at the same time, nothing satisfied me. Each joy made me seek another.
Albert Camus
In order to understand the world, one has to turn away from it on occasion in order to serve others better, one has to hold them at a distance for a time. But where can one find the solitude necessary to vigor, the deep breath in which the mind collects itself and courage gauges its strength? There remain big cities.
Albert Camus
Don't let them tell us stories.
Albert Camus
Wandering seemed no more than the happiness of an anxious man.
Albert Camus
Suffering gives us no special rights.
Albert Camus
A fate is not a punishment.
Albert Camus
It's better to bet on this life than on the next.
Albert Camus
Your successes and happiness are forgiven you only if you generously consent to share them.
Albert Camus
The society based on production is only productive, not creative.
Albert Camus
A character is never the author who created him. It is quite likely, however, that an author may be all his characters simultaneously.
Albert Camus
If the only significant history of human thought were to be written, it would have to be the history of its successive regrets and its impotences.
Albert Camus
For who would dare to assert that eternal happiness can compensate for a single moment's human suffering
Albert Camus
No cause justifies the deaths of innocent people.
Albert Camus
That is love, to give away everything, to sacrifice everything, without the slightest desire to get anything in return.3
Albert Camus
My dear friend, we mustn't give them even the slightest excuse to judge us! Otherwise, we end up in pieces.
Albert Camus
... it is true that I do not respect [human life] more than I respect my own life. And if it is easy for me to kill, that is because it is difficult for me to die.
Albert Camus
God put self-pity by the side of despair like the cure by the side of the disease.
Albert Camus
Human relationships always help us to carry on because they always presuppose further developments, a future - and also because we live as if our only task was precisely to have relationships with other people.
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
Great feelings take with them their own universe, splendid or abject.
Albert Camus
