More quotes by Albert Camus
In that night alive with signs and stars, I opened myself to the gentle indifference of the world. Finding it so much like myself--like a brother, really--I felt that I had been happy and that I was happy again.
Albert Camus
We are not certain, we are never certain.
Albert Camus
Great novelists are philosopher novelists - that is, the contrary of thesis-writers.
Albert Camus
A sub-clerk in the post-office is the equal of a conqueror if consciousness is common to them.
Albert Camus
We are all exceptional cases. We all want to appeal against something! Each of us insists on being innocent at all cost, even if he has to accuse the whole human race and heaven itself.
Albert Camus
Everything considered, a determined soul will always manage.
Albert Camus
To understand one's world, one must sometimes turn away from it! To serve better, one must briefly hold it at a distance. Where can the necessary solitude be found, the long breathing space in which mind gathers its strength and takes stock of its courage.
Albert Camus
The absurd is the essential concept and the first truth.
Albert Camus
All that I know most surely about morality and obligations I owe to football.
Albert Camus
Moreover, most people, assuming they had not altogether abandoned religious observances, or did not combine them naively with a thoroughly immoral way of living, had replace normal religious practice by more or less extravagant superstitions.
Albert Camus
It is not rebellion itself which is noble but the demands it makes upon us.
Albert Camus
I grew up with the sea, and poverty for me was sumptuous then I lost the sea and found all luxuries gray and poverty unbearable.
Albert Camus
God put self-pity by the side of despair like the cure by the side of the disease.
Albert Camus
I do not believe in God and I am not an atheist.
Albert Camus
Every man needs slaves like he needs clean air. To rule is to breathe, is it not? And even the most disenfranchised get to breathe. The lowest on the social scale have their spouses or their children.
Albert Camus
When there is no hope, one must invent hope.
Albert Camus
Democracy is not the law of the majority but the protection of the minority.
Albert Camus
I would rather not have upset him, but I couldn't see any reason to change my life. Looking back on it, I wasn't unhappy. When I was a student, I had lots of ambitions like that. But when I had to give up my studies I learned very quickly that none of it really mattered.
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
An achievement is a bondage. It obliges one to a higher achievement.
Albert Camus
