More quotes by Albert Camus
I am too much in love with my lies and hypocrisies not to confess them fervently.
Albert Camus
We can't do without dominating others or being served.... The essential thing, in sum, is being able to get angry without the other person being able to answer back.
Albert Camus
She was wearing a pair of my pajamas with the sleeves rolled up. When she laughed I wanted her again. A minute later she asked me if I loved her. I told her it didn't mean anything but that I didn't think so. She looked sad. But as we were fixing lunch, and for no apparent reason, she laughed in such a way that I kissed her.
Albert Camus
The principle can be established that for a man who does not cheat what he believes to be true must determine his actions.
Albert Camus
There is scarcely any passion without struggle.
Albert Camus
What made me run away was doubtless not so much the fear of settling down, but of settling down permanently in something ugly.
Albert Camus
You know, a man always judges himself by the balance he can strike between the needs of his body and the demands of his mind. You're judging yourself now, Mersaut, and you don't like the sentence.
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
Blessed are the hearts that can bend they shall never be broken.
Albert Camus
The absurd has meaning only in so far as it is not agreed to.
Albert Camus
Every minute of life carries with it its miraculous value, and its face of eternal youth.
Albert Camus
After awhile you could get used to anything.
Albert Camus
No matter how the sun shone, the sea held forth no more promises.
Albert Camus
A man's work is nothing but this slow trek to rediscover, through the detours of art, those two or three great and simple images in whose presence his heart first opened.
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
Man stands face to face with the irrational. He feels within him his longing for happiness and for reason. The absurd is born of this confrontation between the human need and the unreasonable silence of the world.
Albert Camus
And indeed it could be said that once the faintest stirring of hope became possible, the dominion of plague was ended.
Albert Camus
One plays at being immortal and after a few weeks one doesn't even know whether or not one can hang on till the next day.
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
We turn our backs on nature we are ashamed of beauty. Our wretched tragedies have a smell of the office clinging to them, and the blood that trickles from them is the color of printer's ink.
Albert Camus
