More quotes by Albert Camus
So the thing that bothered me most was that the condemned man had to hope the machine would work the first time.
Albert Camus
I know of only one duty, and that is to love.
Albert Camus
To assert in any case that a man must be absolutely cut off from society because he is absolutely evil amounts to saying that society is absolutely good, and no-one in his right mind will believe this today.
Albert Camus
Mostly, I could tell, I made him feel uncomfortable. He didn't understand me, and he was sort of holding it against me. I felt the urge to reassure him that I was like everybody else, just like everybody else. But really there wasn't much point, and I gave up the idea out of laziness.
Albert Camus
I have not stopped loving that which is sacred in this world.
Albert Camus
People don't love each other at our age, Marthe—they please each other, that's all. Later on, when you're old and impotent, you can love someone. At our age, you just think you do. That's all it is.
Albert Camus
La ve rite , comme la lumie' re, aveugle. Le mensonge, au contraire, est un beau cre puscule qui met chaque objet en valeur. Truth, like light, blinds. A lie, on the contrary, is a beautiful twilight which shows the value of each object.
Albert Camus
Politics and the fate of mankind are formed by men without ideals and without greatness. Those who have greatness within them do not go in for politics.
Albert Camus
Capital punishment is the most premeditated of murders.
Albert Camus
When one has no character, one HAS to apply a method. Here it did wonders incontrovertibly, and I am living on the site of one of the greatest crimes in human history.
Albert Camus
But what is happiness except the simple harmony between a man and the life he leads?
Albert Camus
All men have a sweetness in their life. That is what helps them go on. It is towards that they turn when they feel too worn out.
Albert Camus
Marxism is not scientific: at the best, it has scientific prejudices.
Albert Camus
Every authentic work of art is a gift offered to the future.
Albert Camus
There are causes worth dying for, but none worth killing for.
Albert Camus
The absurd hero's refusal to hope becomes his singular ability to live in the present with passion.
Albert Camus
I was assailed by memories of a life that wasn't mine anymore, but one in which I'd found the simplest and most lasting joys.
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
We [writers] must know that we can never escape the common misery and that our only justification, if indeed there is a justification, is to speak up, insofar as we can, for those who cannot do so.
Albert Camus
There is always a philosophy for lack of courage.
Albert Camus
