More quotes by Albert Camus
There is but one freedom, to put oneself right with death. After that everything is possible.
Albert Camus
What gives value to travel is fear. It is a fact that, at a certain moment, when we are so far from our own country, we are seized by a vague fear and an instinctive desire to go back to the protection of old habits. I look upon it more as an occasion for testing.
Albert Camus
For what gives value to travel is fear. It breaks down a kind of inner structure we have. Travel robs us of such refuge. Far from our own people, our own language, stripped of all our props, deprived of our masks (one doesn't know the fare on the streetcars, or anything else), we are completely on the surface of ourselves.
Albert Camus
Life is a sum of all your choices. So, what are you doing today?
Albert Camus
All systems of morality are based on the idea that an action has consequences that legitimize or cancel it. A mind imbued with the absurd merely judges that those consequences must be considered calmly.
Albert Camus
Once crime was as solitary as a cry of protest now it is as universal as science. Yesterday it was put on trial today it determines the law.
Albert Camus
It is impossible to give a clear account of the world, but art can teach us to reproduce it-just as the world reproduces itself in the course of its eternal gyrations. The primordial sea indefatigably repeats the same words and casts up the same astonished beings on the same sea-shore.
Albert Camus
A symbol always transcends the one who makes use of it and makes him say in reality more than he is aware of expressing.
Albert Camus
Conscious of not being able to separate myself from my time, I have decided to become part of it.
Albert Camus
Do not wait for the Last Judgment. It takes place every day.
Albert Camus
Liberty is the right not to lie.
Albert Camus
The first choice an artist makes is precisely to be an artist, and if he chooses to be an artist it is in consideration of what he is himself and because of a certain idea he has of art
Albert Camus
History has shown that the less people read, the more books they buy.
Albert Camus
what doesn't kill you make you stronger and stronger
Albert Camus
Although it was the middle of winter, I finally realized that, within me, summer was inextinguishable.
Albert Camus
I know [my label], in any case: a double face, a charming Janus, and underneath, the house motto: Be wary. On my business cards:Jean-Baptiste Clamence, actor.
Albert Camus
The role of the intellectual cannot be to excuse the violence of one side and condemn that of the other.
Albert Camus
That's love, giving everything, sacrificing all without hope of return.
Albert Camus
Every ideology is contrary to human psychology.
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
