More quotes by Albert Camus
There is the good and the bad, the great and the low, the just and the unjust. I swear to you that all that will never change.
Albert Camus
At the heart of all beauty lies something inhuman, and these hills, the softness of the sky, the outline of these trees at this very minute lose the illusory meaning with which we had clothed them, henceforth more remote than a lost paradise . . . that denseness and that strangeness of the world is absurd.
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
What is a rebel? A man who says no: but whose refusal does not imply a renunciation.
Albert Camus
The world is unimportant and whoever recognizes this conquers his liberty.
Albert Camus
A lot of jobs don't allow you to be who you are. There is dignity in work only when it is work freely accepted.
Albert Camus

Albert Camus
Truth is not a virtue, but a passion. It is never charitable.
Albert Camus
I was absent at the moment I took up the most space.
Albert Camus
I have the loftiest idea, and the most passionate one, of art. Much too lofty to agree to subject it to anything. Much too passionate to want to divorce it from anything.
Albert Camus
There can be no question of masking the evidence, of suppressing the absurd by denying one of the terms of its equation. It is essential to know whether one can live with it or whether, on the other hand, logic commands one to die of it.
Albert Camus
Thoughts of suicide have got me through many a bad night.
Albert Camus
Travel, which is like a greater and a graver science, brings us back to ourselves.
Albert Camus
All I know of morality I learned from football
Albert Camus
Everything considered, a determined soul will always manage.
Albert Camus
Yes, and when the love of life disappears, no meaning can console us.
Albert Camus
