More quotes by Albert Camus
Methods of thought which claim to give the lead to our world in the name of revolution have become, in reality, ideologies of consent and not of rebellion.
Albert Camus

Albert Camus
The absurd is essentially a divorce. It lies in neither of the elements compared it is born of their confrontation.
Albert Camus
This is the century of fear.
Albert Camus

Albert Camus

Albert Camus
In Oran, as elsewhere, for want of time and thought, people have to love one another without knowing it.
Albert Camus
True artists scorn nothing.
Albert Camus
Conscious of not being able to separate myself from my time, I have decided to become part of it.
Albert Camus
I conceived at least one great love in my life, of which I was always the object.
Albert Camus
Greatness consists in trying to be great. There is no other way.
Albert Camus
One grows out of pity when it's useless.
Albert Camus
Life is meaningless, but worth living, provided you recognize it's meaningless.
Albert Camus
I don't want to be a genius-I have enough problems just trying to be a man.
Albert Camus
I cling like a miser to the freedom that disappears as soon as there is an excess of things.
Albert Camus
I do not want to found anything on the incomprehensible. I want to know whether I can live with what I know and with that alone.
Albert Camus
