More quotes by Albert Camus
Metaphysical rebellion is a claim, motivated by the concept of a complete unity, against the suffering of life and death and a protest against the human condition both for its incompleteness, thanks to death, and its wastefulness, thanks to evil.
Albert Camus
The rebel can never find peace. He knows what is good and, despite himself, does evil. The value which supports him is never given to him once and for all - he must fight to uphold it, unceasingly.
Albert Camus
Capital punishment is the most premeditated of murders.
Albert Camus
Charm is a way of getting the answer 'Yes' without asking a clear question.
Albert Camus
Some are created to love, while the others - to live.
Albert Camus
This very heart which is mine will forever remain indefinable to me. Between the certainty I have of my existence and the content I try to give to that assurance, the gap will never be filled. Forever I shall be a stranger to myself.
Albert Camus
When love ceases to be tragic it is something else and the individual again throws himself in search of tragedy.
Albert Camus
It's better to bet on this life than on the next.
Albert Camus
Life is a sum of all your choices. So, what are you doing today?
Albert Camus
The main thing is that everything become simple, easy enough for a child to understand.
Albert Camus
I said that the world is absurd, but I was too hasty. This world in itself is not reasonable, that is all that can be said. But what is absurd is the confrontation of this irrational and the wild longing for clarity whose call echoes in the human heart.
Albert Camus
Freedom is not constituted primarily of privileges but of responsibilities.
Albert Camus
Do not be surprised. I do not like writers and I cannot stand their lies. They speak so as not to listen to themselves speak. If they did listen, they would know that they are nothing and then they would no longer be able to speak.
Albert Camus
There is no shame in preferring happiness.
Albert Camus
There are places where the mind dies so that a truth which is its very denial may be born.
Albert Camus
Should I kill myself, or have a cup of coffee?
Albert Camus
Maman used to say that you can always find something to be happy about.
Albert Camus
When I was young I asked more of people than they could give: everlasting friendship, endless feeling. Now I know to ask less of them than they can give: a straightforward companionship. And their feelings, their friendship, their generous actions seem in my eyes to be wholly miraculous: a consequence of grace alone.
Albert Camus
Fiction is the lie through which we tell the truth.
Albert Camus
But what is happiness except the simple harmony between a man and the life he leads?
Albert Camus
