More quotes by Albert Camus
A craving for freedom and independence is generated only in a man still living on hope.
Albert Camus
Without freedom there is no art.
Albert Camus
So all a man could win in the conflict between plague and life was knowledge and memories.
Albert Camus
We continue to shape our personality all our life. If we knew ourselves perfectly, we should die.
Albert Camus
We are all special cases.
Albert Camus
The first concern of any dictatorship is, consequently, to subjugate both labor and culture.
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
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
Absolute freedom mocks at justice. Absolute justice denies freedom.
Albert Camus
A stranger to myself and to the world, armed solely with a thought that negates itself as soon as it asserts, what is this condition in which I can have peace only by refusing to know and to live, in which the appetite for conquest bumps into walls that defy its assaults?
Albert Camus
To create today is to create dangerously. Any publication is an act, and that act exposes one to the passions of an age that forgives nothing.
Albert Camus
I love life - that’s my real weakness. I love it so much that I am incapable of imagining what is not life.
Albert Camus
The aim of art, the aim of a life can only be to increase the sum of freedom and responsibility to be found in every man and in the world. It cannot, under any circumstances, be to reduce or suppress that freedom, even temporarily.
Albert Camus
All systems of morality are based on the idea that an action has consequences that legitimize or cancel it. A mind imbued with the absurd merely judges that those consequences must be considered calmly.
Albert Camus
A symbol always transcends the one who makes use of it and makes him say in reality more than he is aware of expressing.
Albert Camus
Accepting the absurdity of everything around us is one step, a necessary experience: it should not become a dead end. It arouses a revolt that can become fruitful
Albert Camus
Do not be afraid of spending quality time by yourself. Find meaning or don’t find meaning but “steal” some time and give it freely and exclusively to your own self. Opt for privacy and solitude. That doesn’t make you antisocial or cause you to reject the rest of the world. But you need to breathe. And you need to be.
Albert Camus
May heaven protect us, cher monsieur, from being set on a pedestal by our friends!!!
Albert Camus
Rule: Start by looking for what is valid in every man.
Albert Camus
The entire history of mankind is, in any case, nothing but a prolonged fight to the death for the conquest of universal prestige and absolute power.
Albert Camus
