More quotes by Albert Camus
Yes, there was an element of abstraction and unreality in misfortune. But when an abstraction starts to kill you, you have to get to work on it.
Albert Camus
A stranger to myself and to the world, armed solely with a thought that negates itself as soon as it asserts, what is this condition in which I can have peace only by refusing to know and to live, in which the appetite for conquest bumps into walls that defy its assaults?
Albert Camus
Why must one love rarely to love well?
Albert Camus
Old women even forget how to love their sons. The heart gets worn out, Monsieur.
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
What's natural is the microbe. All the rest-heath, integrity, purity (if you like)-is a product of the human will, of a vigilance that must never falter. The good man, the man who infects hardly anyone, is the man who has the fewest lapses of attention.
Albert Camus
There is no fate that cannot be surmounted by scorn.
Albert Camus
He had opened his heart to the sublime indifference of the universe
Albert Camus
Psychology is action, not thinking about oneself.
Albert Camus
I am not made for politics because I am incapable of wanting or accepting the death of the adversary.
Albert Camus
I feel like getting married, or committing suicide, or subscribing to L'Illustration. Something desperate, you know.
Albert Camus
We get into the habit of living before acquiring the habit of thinking. In that race which daily hastens us towards death, the body maintains its irreparable lead.
Albert Camus
Truth, like light is dazzling. By contrast, untruth is a beautiful sunset that enhances everything.
Albert Camus
There is merely bad luck in not being loved there is misfortune in not loving. All of us, today, are dying of this misfortune. For violence and hatred dry up the heart itself the long fight for justice exhausts the love that nevertheless gave birth to it.
Albert Camus
I felt the urge to reassure him that I was like everybody else, just like everybody else.
Albert Camus
Il y a dans les hommes plus de choses a' admirer que de choses a' me priser. There are more things to admire in people than to despise.
Albert Camus
Some people talk in their sleep. Lecturers talk while other people sleep.
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
When I look at my life and its secret colors, I feel like bursting into tears.
Albert Camus
It's a kind of spiritual snobbery that makes people think they can be happy without money.
Albert Camus
