History has shown that the less people read, the more books they buy.
Albert Camus
Man is an idea, and a precious small idea once he turns his back on love.
Albert Camus
The contradiction is this: man rejects the world as it is, without accepting the necessity of escaping it. In fact, men cling to the world and by far the majority do not want to abandon it.
Albert Camus
This is the century of fear.
Albert Camus
We are condemned to live together.
Albert Camus
My profession lent itself nicely to my vocation for heights. It freed me of any bitterness towards my fellow men, who were alwaysin my debt, without my owing them anything. It placed me above the judge whom, I in turn judged, above the defendant whom I forced into gratitude.
Albert Camus
No matter how the sun shone, the sea held forth no more promises.
Albert Camus
The mistake that men make is that they do not believe in theater. Otherwise, they would know that every man is allowed to play thecelestial tragedies and to become god. All he has to do is harden his heart.
Albert Camus
When one has no character, one HAS to apply a method. Here it did wonders incontrovertibly, and I am living on the site of one of the greatest crimes in human history.
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
Where would his torture be, indeed, if at every step the hope of succeeding upheld him?
Albert Camus
Where there is no hope, we must invent it.
Albert Camus
None of the evils which totalitarianism ... claims to remedy is worse than totalitarianism itself.
Albert Camus
A nihilist is not one who believes in nothing , but one who does not believe in what exists.
Albert Camus
False judges are held up in the world's admiration and I alone know the true ones.
Albert Camus
It is the job of thinking people not to be on the side of the executioners.
Albert Camus
He was conscious of the disastrous fact that love and desire must be expressed in the same way.
Albert Camus
The ancients, even though they believed in destiny , believed primarily in nature , in which they participated wholeheartedly. To rebel against nature amounted to rebelling against oneself. It was butting one's head against a wall.
Albert Camus
By giving too much importance to fine actions one may end by paying an indirect but powerful tribute to evil, because in so doing one implies that such fine actions are only valuable because they are rare, and that malice or indifference are far more common motives in the actions of men.
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
