More quotes by Albert Camus
The workman of today works every day in his life at the same tasks, and this fate is no less absurd. But it is tragic only at the rare moments when it becomes conscious.
Albert Camus

Albert Camus

Albert Camus

Albert Camus
It is in the thick of calamity that one gets hardened to the truth - in other words, to silence.
Albert Camus
The innocent is the person who explains nothing
Albert Camus

Albert Camus
But in the end one needs more courage to live than to kill himself.
Albert Camus
We have to live and let live in order to create what we are.
Albert Camus
Those who love, friends and lovers, know that love is not only a blinding flash, but also a long and painful struggle in the darkness for the realization of definitive recognition and reconciliation.
Albert Camus
There is no sun without shadow, and it is essential to know the night.
Albert Camus
