More quotes by Albert Camus
Germany collapsed as a result of having engaged in a struggle for empire with the concepts of provincial politics.
Albert Camus
What made me run away was doubtless not so much the fear of settling down, but of settling down permanently in something ugly.
Albert Camus
Over there, in Europe, all was shame and anger. Here it was exile or solitude, among these languid and agitated madmen who danced in order to die.
Albert Camus
Believe me, the hardest thing for a man to give up is that which he really doesn't want, after all.
Albert Camus
If nothing had any meaning, you would be right. But there is something that still has a meaning.
Albert Camus
There is not one talent for living and another for creating. The same suffices for both. And one can be sure that the talent that could not produce but an artificial work could not sustain but a frivolous life.
Albert Camus
At times I feel myself overtaken by an immense tenderness for these people around me who live in the same century.
Albert Camus
Happiness is not everything and men have their duties. Mine is to find my mother, a homeland
Albert Camus
At the age of 40, having ordered meat very rare in restaurants all his life, he realized he actually liked it medium and not at all rare.
Albert Camus
Man cannot do without beauty, and this is what our era pretends to want to disregard.
Albert Camus
It's not the struggle that makes us artists, but Art that makes us struggle.
Albert Camus
Somebody has to have the last word. If not, every argument could be opposed by another and we'd never be done with it.
Albert Camus

Albert Camus
Everybody knows that pestilences have a way of recurring in the world yet somehow we find it hard to believe in ones that crash down on our heads from a blue sky.
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
Again and again there comes a time in history when the man who dares to say that two and two make four is punished with death. (The Plague)
Albert Camus
Nothing can discourage the appetite for divinity in the heart of man.
Albert Camus
At any street corner the feeling of absurdity can strike any man in the face.
Albert Camus
The French Revolution gave birth to no artists but only to a great journalist, Desmoulins, and to an under-the-counter writer, Sade. The only poet of the times was the guillotine.
Albert Camus
If it adapts itself to what the majority of our society wants, art will be a meaningless recreation.
Albert Camus
