More quotes by Albert Camus
I had the whole sky in my eyes and it was blue and gold.
Albert Camus
... I suppose that it is not so easy to go home and it takes a bit of time to make a son out of a stranger.
Albert Camus
Greatness consists in trying to be great. There is no other way.
Albert Camus
The absurd is sin without God.
Albert Camus
There are crimes of passion and crimes of logic. The boundary between them is not clearly defined.
Albert Camus
I have not stopped loving that which is sacred in this world.
Albert Camus
I realized then that a man who had lived only one day could easily live for a hundred years in prison. He would have enough memories to keep him from being bored
Albert Camus
True artists scorn nothing.
Albert Camus
The purpose of a writer is to keep civilization from destroying itself.
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
Note, besides, that it is no more immoral to directly rob citizens than to slip indirect taxes into the price of goods that they cannot do without.
Albert Camus
The day of my arrest I was first put in a room where there were already several other prisoners, most of them Arabs. They laughed when they saw me. Then they asked what I was in for. I said I'd killed an Arab and they were all silent
Albert Camus
Thus, in a middle course between these heights and depths, they drifted through life rather than lived, the prey of aimless days and sterile memories, like wandering shadows that could have acquired substance only by consenting to root themselves in the solid earth of their distress.
Albert Camus
One might think, that a period which, within fifty years, uproots, enslaves or kills seventy million human beings, should only, and forthwith, be condemned. But also its guilt must be understood.
Albert Camus
To assert in any case that a man must be absolutely cut off from society because he is absolutely evil amounts to saying that society is absolutely good, and no-one in his right mind will believe this today.
Albert Camus
Germany collapsed as a result of having engaged in a struggle for empire with the concepts of provincial politics.
Albert Camus
Life is the result of all your choices.
Albert Camus
In every guilty man, there is some innocence. This makes every absolute condemnation revolting.
Albert Camus
Outside of that single fatality of death, everything, joy or happiness, is liberty.
Albert Camus
He knew now that it was his own will to happiness which must make the next move. But if he was to do so, he realized that he must come to terms with time, that to have time was at once the most magnificent and the most dangerous of experiments. Idleness is fatal only to the mediocre.
Albert Camus
