More quotes by Albert Camus
Freedom of the press is perhaps the freedom that has suffered the most from the gradual degradation of the idea of liberty.
Albert Camus
In Holland, everyone is an expert in painting and in tulips.
Albert Camus
There was a time when I didn’t at any minute have the slightest idea how I could reach the next one. Yes, one can wage war in this world, ape love, torture one’s fellow man, or merely say evil of one’s neighbour while knitting. But, in certain cases, carrying on, merely continuing, is superhuman.
Albert Camus
Nothing is given to mankind and what little men can conquer must be paid for with unjust death. But man's grandeur lies elsewhere, in his decision to rise above his condition.
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
To insure the adoration of a theorem for any length of time, faith is not enough, a police force is needed as well.
Albert Camus
I make myself strict rules in order to correct my nature. But it is my nature that I finally obey.
Albert Camus

Albert Camus
In the light, the earth remains our first and our last love. Our brothers are breathing under the same sky as we justice is a living thing. Now is born that strange joy which helps one live and die, and which we shall never again postpone to a later time.
Albert Camus
Great ideas come into the world as gently as doves.
Albert Camus
An intellectual is someone whose mind watches itself.
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
Don't believe your friends when they ask you to be honest with them. All they really want is to be maintained in the good opinion they have of themselves.
Albert Camus
Murder is terribly exhausting.
Albert Camus
I felt the urge to reassure him that I was like everybody else, just like everybody else.
Albert Camus
Happiness is not everything and men have their duties. Mine is to find my mother, a homeland
Albert Camus
What is called a reason for living is also an excellent reason for dying.
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
The only conception of freedom I can have is that of the prisoner or the individual in the midst of the State. The only one I know is freedom of thought and action.
Albert Camus
We have art in order not to die of life.
Albert Camus
