Albert Camus
A nihilist is not one who believes in nothing , but one who does not believe in what exists.
Albert Camus
Any country where I am not bored is a country that teaches me nothing.
Albert Camus
Men and women consume one another rapidly in what is called the act of love, or else settle down to a mild habit of conjugality. We seldom find a mean between these two extremes.
Albert Camus
We can't do without dominating others or being served.... The essential thing, in sum, is being able to get angry without the other person being able to answer back.
Albert Camus
The look of success, when it is worn a certain way, would infuriate a jackass.
Albert Camus
Our reason has driven all away. Alone at last, we end up ruling over a desert.
Albert Camus

Albert Camus

Albert Camus
Real generosity toward the future lies in giving all to the present.
Albert Camus
I knew a pure heart who refused tot be mistrustful.... He had written at his doorstep: From wherever you are, enter and be welcome. Who do you think responded to this lovely invitation? The militia, who made themselves at home and gutted him.
Albert Camus
It is not humiliating to be unhappy. Physical suffering is sometimes humiliating, but the suffering of being cannot be, it is life.
Albert Camus
It is easier to kill what we do not know.
Albert Camus
The best revenge you can have on intellectuals is to be madly happy.
Albert Camus
But too many people now climb onto the cross merely to be seen from a greater distance, even if they have to trample somewhat on the one who has been there so long.
Albert Camus
That must be wonderful I have no idea of what it means.
Albert Camus
With rebellion, awareness is born
Albert Camus
There are crimes of passion and crimes of logic. The boundary between them is not clearly defined.
Albert Camus
