More quotes by Albert Camus
Every act of rebellion expresses a nostalgia for innocence and an appeal to the essence of being.
Albert Camus
I want to know if I can live with what I know, and only than.
Albert Camus
A fate is not a punishment.
Albert Camus
You cannot create experience. You must undergo it.
Albert Camus
As for Hitler, his professed religion unhesitatingly juxtaposed the God-Providence and Valhalla. Actually his god was an argument at a political meeting and a manner of reaching an impressive climax at the end of speeches.
Albert Camus
How had I not seen that there was nothing more important than an execution, and that when you come right down to it, it was the only thing a man could truly be interested in?
Albert Camus
Finally, and most of all, words failed him.
Albert Camus
Fiction is the lie through which we tell the truth.
Albert Camus
Of course, true love is exceptional - two or three times a century, more or less. The rest of the time there is vanity or boredom.
Albert Camus
The danger of lectures is that they create the illusion of teaching for teachers, and the illusion of learning for learners.
Albert Camus
Happiness is generous. It does not subsist on destruction.
Albert Camus
At that time, I often thought that if I had had to live in the trunk of a dead tree, with nothing to do but look up at the sky flowing overhead, little by little I would have gotten used to it.
Albert Camus
Nothing is given to mankind and what little men can conquer must be paid for with unjust death. But man's grandeur lies elsewhere, in his decision to rise above his condition.
Albert Camus
An intense feeling carries with it its own universe, magnificent or wretched as the case may be.
Albert Camus
They hurt each other without wanting to, just because each represented to the others the cruel and demanding necessity of their lives.
Albert Camus
The artist forges himself to the others, midway between the beauty he cannot do without and the community he cannot tear himself away from. That is why true artists scorn nothing: they are obliged to understand rather than to judge.
Albert Camus
The laws of nature may be operative up to a certain limit, beyond which they turn against themselves to give birth to the absurd.
Albert Camus
To correct a natural indifference I was placed half-way between misery and the sun. Misery kept me from believing that all was well under the sun, and the sun taught me that history wasn't everything.
Albert Camus
To create is likewise to give a shape to one's fate
Albert Camus
Why must one love rarely to love well?
Albert Camus
