More quotes by Albert Camus
I had the whole sky in my eyes and it was blue and gold.
Albert Camus
When I was young, I expected from people more than they could give: neverending friendship and constant excitement. Now I expect less than they can actually can give: to stay close silently. And their feelings, friendship, noble deeds always seem like a miracle to me: a true grace.
Albert Camus
There's the risk of being loved...and that would keep me from being happy.
Albert Camus
Only it takes time to be happy. A lot of time. Happiness, too, is a long patience.
Albert Camus
Forever I shall be a stranger to myself. In psychology as in logic, there are truths but no truth.
Albert Camus
May heaven protect us, cher monsieur, from being set on a pedestal by our friends!!!
Albert Camus
I don't want to represent man as he is, but only as he might be.
Albert Camus
You make the mistake of thinking you have to choose, that you have to do what you want, that there are conditions for happiness. What matters — all that matters, really is the will to happiness, a kind of enormous, ever present consciousness. The rest - women , art, success — is nothing but excuses. A canvas waiting for our embroideries.
Albert Camus
The best are led to make greater demands upon themselves. As for those who succumb, they did not deserve to survive.
Albert Camus
You will never be able to experience everything. So, please, do poetical justice to your soul and simply experience yourself.
Albert Camus
No code of ethics and no effort are justifiable a priori in the face of the cruel mathematics that command our condition.
Albert Camus
The soul of a murderer is blind
Albert Camus
This absurd, godless world is, then, peopled with men who think clearly and have ceased to hope. And I have not yet spoken of the most absurd character, who is the creator.
Albert Camus
True artists scorn nothing.
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 do not have much liking for the too famous existential philosophy, and, to tell the truth, I think its conclusions false.
Albert Camus
Whatever prevents you from doing your work has become your work.
Albert Camus
Always there comes an hour when one is weary of one's work and devotion to duty, and all one craves for is a loved face, the warmth and wonder of a loving heart.
Albert Camus
A sub-clerk in the post-office is the equal of a conqueror if consciousness is common to them.
Albert Camus
And often he who has chosen the fate of the artist because he felt himself to be different soon realizes that he can maintain neither his art nor his difference unless he admits that he is like the others. The artist forges himself to the others, midway between the beauty he cannot do without and the community he cannot tear himself away from.
Albert Camus
