More quotes by Albert Camus
You know very well that I no longer think. I am far too intelligent for that.
Albert Camus
The sense of doing good , the satisfaction of being right, the joy of looking favorably upon oneself, dear sir, are powerful levers for keeping us upright and making us progress. On the other hand, if men are deprived of that feeling, they are changed into rabid dogs.
Albert Camus
It takes time to live. Like any work of art, life needs to be thought about.
Albert Camus
I have never been able, really, to regret anything in all my life. I have always been far much too absorbed in the present moment or the immediate future to think back.
Albert Camus
Have you no hope at all? And do you really live with the thought that when you die, you die, and nothing remains? Yes, I said.
Albert Camus
To govern means to pillage, as everyone knows.
Albert Camus
Thinking is learning all over again how to see, directing one's consciousness, making of every image a privileged place.
Albert Camus
Liberty is the right not to lie.
Albert Camus
Only the sea, murmurous behind the dingy checkerboard of houses, told of the unrest, the precariousness, of all things in this world.
Albert Camus
In our society, any man who doesn't cry at his mother's funeral is liable to be condemned to death.
Albert Camus
The future is the only kind of property that the masters willingly concede to the slaves.
Albert Camus
When I see a new face, something sets off an alarm bell inside me. 'slow down! Danger!' Even when the attraction is strongest, I am on my guard.
Albert Camus
Liberty is dangerous, as hard to get along with as it is exciting.
Albert Camus
Because there is nothing here than invites us to cherish unhappy lovers. Nothing is more vain than to die for love. What we ought to do is live.
Albert Camus
Psychology is action, not thinking about oneself.
Albert Camus
If Christianity is pessimistic as to man, it is optimistic as to human destiny. Well, I can say that, pessimistic as to human destiny, I am optimistic as to man.
Albert Camus
The words that reverberate for us at the confines of this long adventure of rebellion are not formulas for optimism, for which we have no possible use in the extremities of our unhappiness, but words of courage and intelligence which, on the shores of the eternal seas, even have the qualities of virtue.
Albert Camus
There is always a certain hour of the day and of the night when a man’s courage is at its lowest ebb, and it was that hour only that he feared.
Albert Camus
It is not humiliating to be unhappy. Physical suffering is sometimes humiliating, but the suffering of being cannot be, it is life.
Albert Camus
In Italian museums are sometimes found little painted screens that the priest used to hold in front of the face of condemned men to hide the scaffold from them.
Albert Camus
