More quotes by Albert Camus
It is normal to give away a little of one's life in order not to lose it all.
Albert Camus
It is terrifying to see how easily, in certain people, all dignity collapses. Yet when you think about it, this is quite normal since they only maintain this dignity by constantly striving against their own nature.
Albert Camus
Empires and churches are born under the sun of death.
Albert Camus
But what are a hundred million deaths? When one has served in a war, one hardly knows what a dead man is, after a while. And since a dead man has no substance unless one has actually seen him dead, a hundred million corpses broadcast through history are no more than a puff of smoke in the imagination.
Albert Camus
All that remains is a fate whose outcome alone is fatal. Outside of that single fatality of death, everything, joy or happiness, is liberty. A world remains of which man is the sole master. What bound him was the illusion of another world.
Albert Camus
I felt that I had been happy and that I was happy again. For everything to be consummated, for me to feel less alone, I had only to wish that there be a large crowd of spectators the day of my execution and that they greet me with cries of hate.
Albert Camus
Capital punishment is the most premeditated of murders.
Albert Camus
But all the long speeches, all the interminable days and hours that people had spent talking about my soul, had left me with the impression of a colorless swirling river that was making me dizzy.
Albert Camus
Children will still die unjustly even in a perfect society. Even by his greatest effort, man can only propose to diminish, arithmetically, the sufferings of the world.
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
But above all, in order to be, never try to seem.
Albert Camus
Rebellion cannot exist without a strange form of love.
Albert Camus
What, in fact, is a novel but a universe in which action is endowed with form, where final words are pronounced, where people possess one another completely, and where life assumes the aspect of destiny?
Albert Camus
For me, physical love has always been bound to an irresistible feeling of innocence and joy. Thus, I cannot love in tears but in exaltation.
Albert Camus
In art, rebellion is consummated and perpetuated in the act of real creation, not in criticism or commentary.
Albert Camus
Madness such as this, its like trying to stop a fire with the moisture from a kiss
Albert Camus
I hope the dogs don't bark tonight. I always think it's mine
Albert Camus
Travel, which is like a greater and a graver science, brings us back to ourselves.
Albert Camus
There are means that cannot be excused. And I should like to be able to love my country and still love justice. I don't want just any greatness for it, particularly a greatness born of blood and falsehood. I want to keep it alive by keeping justice alive.
Albert Camus
The realization that life is absurd cannot be an end, but only a beginning.
Albert Camus
