More quotes by Albert Camus
One must imagine Sisyphus happy.
Albert Camus

Albert Camus
Every great work makes the human face more admirable and richer, and this is its whole secret.
Albert Camus
It is necessary to fall in love... if only to provide an alibi for all the random despair you are going to feel anyway.
Albert Camus
At the heart of all beauty lies something inhuman.
Albert Camus
Always go too far, because that's where you'll find the truth
Albert Camus
Does the end justify the means? That is possible. But what will justify the end? To that question, which historical thought leaves pending, rebellion replies: the means.
Albert Camus
Youth is above all a collection of possibilities.
Albert Camus
