More quotes by 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
In a universe suddenly divested of illusion and lights, man feels an alien, a stranger. His exile is without remedy since he is deprived of the memory of a lost home or the hope of a promised land.
Albert Camus
There can be no question of holding forth on ethics. I have seen people behave badly with great morality and I note every day that integrity has no need of rules
Albert Camus
A person I knew used to divide human beings into three categories: those who prefer to have nothing to hide rather than being obliged to lie, those who prefer lying to having nothing to hide, and finally those who like both lying and the hidden.
Albert Camus
Rebellion cannot exist without a strange form of love.
Albert Camus
Betrayal answers betrayal, the mask of love is answered by the disappearance of love.
Albert Camus
There is no sun without shadow, and it is essential to know the night.
Albert Camus
It occurred to me that anyway one more Sunday was over that Maman was buried now, that I was going back to work, and that, really, nothing had changed.
Albert Camus

Albert Camus
What on earth prompted you to take a hand in this? I don't know. My… my code of morals, perhaps. Your code of morals. What code, if I may ask? Comprehension.
Albert Camus
To create is likewise to give a shape to one's fate
Albert Camus
This divorce between man and his life, the actor and his setting, is properly the feeling of absurdity.
Albert Camus
Myths are made for the imagination to breath life into them.
Albert Camus
A free press can, of course, be good or bad, but, most certainly without freedom, the press will never be anything but bad.
Albert Camus
life is a story and god is author.life is absurd.I think so.
Albert Camus
And real nobility (that of the heart) is based on scorn, courage, and profound indifference.
Albert Camus
There is but one truly serious philosophical problem and that is suicide. Judging whether life is or is not worth living amounts to answering the fundamental question of philosophy. All the rest — whether or not the world has three dimensions, whether the mind has nine or twelve categories — comes afterwards. These are games one must first answer.
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
What is called a reason for living is also an excellent reason for dying.
Albert Camus
As for those whose role it is to love us - I mean, relatives and in-laws (what a word)- It's a different tune. They find the right word, but it's usually the one that wounds.
Albert Camus
