More quotes by Albert Camus
Instead of killing and dying in order to produce the being that we are not, we have to live and let live in order to create what we are.
Albert Camus
I conceived at least one great love in my life, of which I was always the object.
Albert Camus
That must be wonderful I have no idea of what it means.
Albert Camus
It occurred to me that anyway one more Sunday was over that Maman was buried now, that I was going back to work, and that, really, nothing had changed.
Albert Camus
Outside of that single fatality of death, everything, joy or happiness, is liberty.
Albert Camus
It is in the thick of calamity that one gets hardened to the truth - in other words, to silence.
Albert Camus
Don't walk behind me I may not lead. Don't walk in front of me I may not follow. Just walk beside me and be my friend.
Albert Camus
There was a time when I didn’t at any minute have the slightest idea how I could reach the next one. Yes, one can wage war in this world, ape love, torture one’s fellow man, or merely say evil of one’s neighbour while knitting. But, in certain cases, carrying on, merely continuing, is superhuman.
Albert Camus
Being is good, but getting rich is better.... If the gods had only the riches of men's adoration, they would be as poor as poor Caligula.
Albert Camus
To feel absolutely right is the beginning of the end.
Albert Camus
All healthy men have thought of their own suicide
Albert Camus
The only deep emotion I occasionally felt in these affairs was gratitude, when all was going well and I was left, not only peace, but freedom to come and go--never kinder and gayer with one woman than when I had just left another's bed, as if I extended to all others the debt I had just contracted toward one of them.
Albert Camus
But above all, in order to be, never try to seem.
Albert Camus
An intellectual is someone whose mind watches itself.
Albert Camus
Should I kill myself, or have a cup of coffee?
Albert Camus
Fate is not in man but around him
Albert Camus
My dear friend, we mustn't give them even the slightest excuse to judge us! Otherwise, we end up in pieces.
Albert Camus
If nothing had any meaning, you would be right. But there is something that still has a meaning.
Albert Camus
If the only significant history of human thought were to be written, it would have to be the history of its successive regrets and its impotences.
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
