More quotes by Albert Camus
I conceived at least one great love in my life, of which I was always the object.
Albert Camus
Once one's up against it, the precise manner of one's death has obviously small importance.
Albert Camus
It is immoral not to tell.
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
But when a man has had only four hours' sleep he isn't sentimental. He sees things as they are: that is to say, he sees them in the garish light of justice hideous, witless justice.
Albert Camus
I know that man is capable of great deeds. But if he isn't capable of great emotion, well, he leaves me cold.
Albert Camus
By definition, a government has no conscience. Sometimes it has a policy, but nothing more.
Albert Camus
We have art in order not to die of life.
Albert Camus
We are rebels for a cause, poets with a dream , and we won't let this world die without a fight.
Albert Camus
When the throne of God is overturned, the rebel realizes that it is now his own responsibility to create the justice, order, and unity that he sought in vain within his own condition, and in this way to justify the fall of God. Then begins the desperate effort to create, at the price of crime and murder if necessary, the dominion of man.
Albert Camus
After all perhaps the greatness of art lies in the perpetual tension between beauty and pain, the love of men and the madness of creation, unbearable solitude and the exhausting crowd, rejection and consent.
Albert Camus
In our wildest aberrations we dream of an equilibrium we have left behind and which we naively expect to find at the end of our errors. Childish presumption which justifies the fact that child-nations, inheriting our follies, are now directing our history.
Albert Camus
The welfare of the people in particular has always been the alibi of tyrants.
Albert Camus
Great novelists are philosopher novelists - that is, the contrary of thesis-writers.
Albert Camus
A taste for truth at any cost is a passion which spares nothing.
Albert Camus
History, as an entirety, could only exist in the eyes of an observer outside it and outside the world. History only exists, in the final analysis, for God.
Albert Camus
Sometimes, from beyond the skycrapers, the cry of a tugboat finds you in your insomnia, and you remember that this desert of iron and cement is an island.
Albert Camus
The future is the only kind of property that the masters willingly concede to the slaves.
Albert Camus
What must be remembered in any case is that secret complicity that joins the logical and the everyday to the tragic.
Albert Camus
The temptation shared by all forms of intelligence: cynicism.
Albert Camus
