More quotes by Albert Camus
I was assailed by memories of a life that wasn't mine anymore, but one in which I'd found the simplest and most lasting joys.
Albert Camus
We know the surrealist solution: concrete irrationality, objective risk. Poetry is the conquest, the only possible conquest, of the 'supreme position', 'a certain position of the mind from where life and death, the real and the imaginary, the past and the future... cease to be perceived in a contradictory sense.'
Albert Camus
Why should it be essential to love rarely in order to love much?
Albert Camus
No code of ethics and no effort are justifiable a priori in the face of the cruel mathematics that command our condition.
Albert Camus
Truth and freedom, having few lovers, are demanding mistresses.
Albert Camus
We call first truths those we discover after all the others.
Albert Camus
Why must one love rarely to love well?
Albert Camus
In our wildest aberrations we dream of an equilibrium we have left behind and which we naively expect to find at the end of our errors. Childish presumption which justifies the fact that child-nations, inheriting our follies, are now directing our history.
Albert Camus
Absurd- that is the light mind that establishes its own borders.
Albert Camus
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
... one cannot be happy in exile or in oblivion. One cannot always be a stranger. I want to return to my homeland, make all my loved ones happy. I see no further than this.
Albert Camus
To insure the adoration of a theorem for any length of time, faith is not enough, a police force is needed as well.
Albert Camus
False judges are held up in the world's admiration and I alone know the true ones.
Albert Camus
Truth is not a virtue, but a passion. It is never charitable.
Albert Camus
I feel more fellowship with the defeated than with saints.
Albert Camus
I conceived at least one great love in my life, of which I was always the object.
Albert Camus
I understood, by dint of digging into my memories, that modesty helped me to shine, humility helped me to triumph and virtue to oppress.
Albert Camus
Absolute freedom mocks at justice. Absolute justice denies freedom.
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
Capital punishment is the most premeditated of murders.
Albert Camus
