More quotes by Albert Camus

Albert Camus
I longed to be forgotten in order to be able to complain to myself.
Albert Camus
Existence is illusory and it is eternal.
Albert Camus
Every revolutionary ends up either by becoming an oppressor or a heretic.
Albert Camus
Your successes and happiness are forgiven you only if you generously consent to share them.
Albert Camus

Albert Camus
In default of inexhaustible happiness, eternal suffering would at least give us a destiny. But we do not even have that consolation, and our worst agonies come to an end one day.
Albert Camus
If there is a soul, it is a mistake to believe that it is given to us fully created. It is created here, throughout a whole life. And living is nothing else but that long and painful bringing forth.
Albert Camus
I was always able to understand my friend who decided to quit smoking and who, through an effort of will, succeeded in doing so. One morning, he opened the newspaper, read that the first H- bomb had exploded, found out about the bomb's admirable effects and went straight to the tobacconist's.
Albert Camus
Somebody has to have the last word. If not, every argument could be opposed by another and we'd never be done with it.
Albert Camus
He who despairs of the human condition is a coward, but he who has hope for it is a fool.
Albert Camus
There are crimes of passion and crimes of logic. The boundary between them is not clearly defined.
Albert Camus
