More quotes by Albert Camus
The welfare of the people in particular has always been the alibi of tyrants.
Albert Camus
An intellectual is someone whose mind watches itself.
Albert Camus
What, in fact, is a novel but a universe in which action is endowed with form, where final words are pronounced, where people possess one another completely, and where life assumes the aspect of destiny?
Albert Camus
In the world today, only a philosophy of eternity could justify non-violence.
Albert Camus
At one time or another all normal people have wished their loved ones were dead.
Albert Camus
All I maintain is that on this earth there are pestilences and there are victims, and it's up to us, so far as possible, not to join forces with the pestilences. That may sound simple to the point of childishness I can't judge if it's simple, but I know it's true.
Albert Camus
If the only significant history of human thought were to be written, it would have to be the history of its successive regrets and its impotences.
Albert Camus
You cannot create experience. You must undergo it.
Albert Camus
Your successes and happiness are forgiven you only if you generously consent to share them.
Albert Camus
We are condemned to live together.
Albert Camus
The act of love . . . is a confession. Selfishness screams aloud, vanity shows off, or else true generosity reveals itself.
Albert Camus
Mother died today. Or maybe yesterday I can't be sure.
Albert Camus
We rarely confide in those who are better than we are.
Albert Camus
This divorce between man and his life, the actor and his setting, is properly the feeling of absurdity.
Albert Camus
No matter how the sun shone, the sea held forth no more promises.
Albert Camus
Believe me, for certain men at least, not taking what one doesn't desire is the hardest thing in the world.
Albert Camus
Ah! my friend, for whomever is alone, without a god and without a master, the weight of time is terrible. One must then choose a master, God being out of style.
Albert Camus
There can be no question of holding forth on ethics. I have seen people behave badly with great morality and I note every day that integrity has no need of rules
Albert Camus
That must be wonderful I have no idea of what it means.
Albert Camus
I felt that I had been happy and that I was happy again. For everything to be consummated, for me to feel less alone, I had only to wish that there be a large crowd of spectators the day of my execution and that they greet me with cries of hate.
Albert Camus
