More quotes by Albert Camus
Mother died today. Or maybe yesterday I can't be sure.
Albert Camus
In the end, we would like not to be guilty while at the same time being dispensed of the effort of purifying ourselves. Not enough cynicism and not enough virtue.
Albert Camus
When a war breaks out, people say: It's too stupid it can't last long. But though a war may well be too stupid, that doesn't prevent its lasting. Stupidity has a knack of getting its way as we should see if we were not always so much wrapped up in ourselves.
Albert Camus
Utopia is that which is in contradiction with reality.
Albert Camus
Imagination offers people consolation for what they cannot be, and humor for what they actually are.
Albert Camus
... We need the sweet pain of anticipation to tell us we are really alive.
Albert Camus
Finally, and most of all, words failed him.
Albert Camus
When the soul suffers too much, it develops a taste for misfortune.
Albert Camus
For if there is a sin against life, it consists perhaps not so much in despairing of life as in hoping for another life and in eluding the implacable grandeur of this life.
Albert Camus
Likewise and during every day of an unillustrious life, time carries us. But a moment always comes when we have to carry it.
Albert Camus
Your successes and happiness are forgiven you only if you generously consent to share them.
Albert Camus
It's better to bet on this life than on the next.
Albert Camus
Again and again there comes a time in history when the man who dares to say that two and two make four is punished with death. (The Plague)
Albert Camus
I don’t know whether this world has a meaning that transcends it. But I know that I cannot know that meaning and that it is impossible for me just now to know it.
Albert Camus
Death means nothing to men like me. It's the event that proves them right.
Albert Camus
Because there is nothing here than invites us to cherish unhappy lovers. Nothing is more vain than to die for love. What we ought to do is live.
Albert Camus
The best are led to make greater demands upon themselves. As for those who succumb, they did not deserve to survive.
Albert Camus
For there is merely bad luck in not being loved there is misfortune in not loving.
Albert Camus
It's a kind of spiritual snobbery that makes people think they can be happy without money.
Albert Camus
Women are all we know of paradise on this earth.
Albert Camus
