More quotes by Albert Camus
In truth, I was so good at being a man, with such plenitude and simplicity, that I thought I was something of a superman.
Albert Camus
The nobility of our calling will always be rooted in two commitments difficult to observe: refusal to lie about what we know, and resistance to oppression.
Albert Camus
The work of art is born of the intelligence's refusal to reason the concrete. It marks the triumph of the carnal.
Albert Camus
There always comes a time when one must choose between contemplation and action. This is called becoming a man.
Albert Camus
Why should it be essential to love rarely in order to love much?
Albert Camus
In order to speak about all and to all, one has to speak of what all know and of the reality common to us all. The sea, rains, necessity, desire, the struggle against death... these are things that unite us all.
Albert Camus
A stranger to myself and to the world, armed solely with a thought that negates itself as soon as it asserts, what is this condition in which I can have peace only by refusing to know and to live, in which the appetite for conquest bumps into walls that defy its assaults?
Albert Camus
There's the risk of being loved...and that would keep me from being happy.
Albert Camus
It is not true that the heart wears out - but the body creates this illusion.
Albert Camus
After all perhaps the greatness of art lies in the perpetual tension between beauty and pain, the love of men and the madness of creation, unbearable solitude and the exhausting crowd, rejection and consent.
Albert Camus
In normal times all of us know, whether consciously or not, that there is no love which can't be bettered nevertheless, we reconcile ourselves more or less easily to the fact that ours has never risen above the average.
Albert Camus
Independence is earned by a few words of cheap confidence
Albert Camus
The best are led to make greater demands upon themselves. As for those who succumb, they did not deserve to survive.
Albert Camus
At one time or another all normal people have wished their loved ones were dead.
Albert Camus
Sometimes, from beyond the skycrapers, the cry of a tugboat finds you in your insomnia, and you remember that this desert of iron and cement is an island.
Albert Camus
Happiness is generous. It does not subsist on destruction.
Albert Camus
Suffering gives us no special rights.
Albert Camus
To be born to create, to love, to win at games is to be born to live in time of peace. But war teaches us to lose everything and become what we were not. It all becomes a question of style.
Albert Camus
All great deeds and all great thoughts have a ridiculous beginning.
Albert Camus
Cruel irony, the poor man tormented with hunger feeds those who plead his case.
Albert Camus
