More quotes by Albert Camus
I should like to be able to love my country and still love justice.
Albert Camus
On the ridge where the great artist moves forward, every step is an adventure, an extreme risk. In that risk, however, and only there, lays the freedom of Art.
Albert Camus
I do not want to found anything on the incomprehensible. I want to know whether I can live with what I know and with that alone.
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
Nobody realizes that some people expend tremendous energy merely to be normal.
Albert Camus
The absurd has meaning only in so far as it is not agreed to.
Albert Camus
It's not the struggle that makes us artists, but Art that makes us struggle.
Albert Camus
What would become of the world if the condemned started to confide their heartaches to the executioners?
Albert Camus
A character is never the author who created him. It is quite likely, however, that an author may be all his characters simultaneously.
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
Death means nothing to men like me. It's the event that proves them right.
Albert Camus
I cling like a miser to the freedom that disappears as soon as there is an excess of things.
Albert Camus
We're going forward, but nothing changes.
Albert Camus
False judges are held up in the world's admiration and I alone know the true ones.
Albert Camus
What I believe to be true I must therefore preserve. What seems to me so obvious, even against me, I must support.
Albert Camus
I sometimes need to write things which I cannot completely control but which therefore prove that what is in me is stronger than I am.
Albert Camus
The struggle to the top alone will make a human heart SWELL.
Albert Camus
It would be unjust, and moreover Utopian, for Shakespeare to direct the shoemakers' union. But it would be equally disastrous forthe shoemakers' union to ignore Shakespeare.
Albert Camus
But - I cannot make a choice. I have my own sorrow, but I suffer with him, too I share his pain. I understand all - that is my trouble.
Albert Camus
Do not be surprised. I do not like writers and I cannot stand their lies. They speak so as not to listen to themselves speak. If they did listen, they would know that they are nothing and then they would no longer be able to speak.
Albert Camus
