More quotes by 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
You make the mistake of thinking you have to choose, that you have to do what you want, that there are conditions for happiness. What matters — all that matters, really is the will to happiness, a kind of enormous, ever present consciousness. The rest - women , art, success — is nothing but excuses. A canvas waiting for our embroideries.
Albert Camus
Man wants to live, but it is useless to hope that this desire will dictate all his actions.
Albert Camus
In order to understand the world, one has to turn away from it on occasion.
Albert Camus
The important thing isn't the soundness or otherwise of the argument, but for it to make you think.
Albert Camus
When love ceases to be tragic it is something else and the individual again throws himself in search of tragedy.
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
Cruel irony, the poor man tormented with hunger feeds those who plead his case.
Albert Camus
For rich people, the sky is just an extra, a gift of nature. The poor, on the other hand, can see it as it is, a gift of infinite grace.
Albert Camus
In the midst of winter, I found there was, within me, an invincible summer. And that makes me happy. For it says that no matter how hard the world pushes against me, within me, there’s something stronger – something better, pushing right back.
Albert Camus
Absolute justice is achieved by the suppression of all contradiction, therefore it destroys freedom.
Albert Camus
What the world expects of Christians is that Christians should speak out, loud and clear... in such a way that never a doubt, never the slightest doubt, could rise in the heart of the simplest man.
Albert Camus
A novel is never anything but a philosophy expressed in images. And in a good novel the philosophy has disappeared into the images.
Albert Camus
What gives value to travel is fear. It is a fact that, at a certain moment, when we are so far from our own country, we are seized by a vague fear and an instinctive desire to go back to the protection of old habits. I look upon it more as an occasion for testing.
Albert Camus
Nobody realizes that some people expend tremendous energy merely to be normal.
Albert Camus
He had been bored, that's all, bored like most people. Hence he had made himself out of whole cloth a life full of complications and drama. Something must happen - and that explains most human commitments. Something must happen, even loveless slavery, even war or death. Hurray then for funerals!
Albert Camus
So the thing that bothered me most was that the condemned man had to hope the machine would work the first time.
Albert Camus
You know very well that I no longer think. I am far too intelligent for that.
Albert Camus
In order to be created, a work of art must first make use of the dark forces of the soul
Albert Camus
[Paris] is dirty. It has pigeons and black yards. The people have white skin.
Albert Camus
