More quotes by Albert Camus
Man wants to live, but it is useless to hope that this desire will dictate all his actions.
Albert Camus
A novel is never anything but a philosophy expressed in images. And in a good novel the philosophy has disappeared into the images.
Albert Camus
Realism should only be the means of expression of religious genius... or, at the other extreme, the artistic expressions of monkeys which are quite satisfied with mere imitation. In fact, art is never realistic though sometimes it is tempted to be. To be really realistic a description would have to be endless.
Albert Camus
I knew a pure heart who refused tot be mistrustful.... He had written at his doorstep: From wherever you are, enter and be welcome. Who do you think responded to this lovely invitation? The militia, who made themselves at home and gutted him.
Albert Camus
An intense feeling carries with it its own universe, magnificent or wretched as the case may be.
Albert Camus
I do not believe in God and I am not an atheist.
Albert Camus
It is terrifying to see how easily, in certain people, all dignity collapses. Yet when you think about it, this is quite normal since they only maintain this dignity by constantly striving against their own nature.
Albert Camus
Rebellion, in man, is the refusal to be treated as an object and to be reduced to simple historical terms. It is the affirmation of a nature common to all men, which eludes the world of power.
Albert Camus
The real passion of the twentieth century is servitude.
Albert Camus
Morality, when formal, devours.
Albert Camus
The urge to revolt is one of the essential dimensions of human nature.
Albert Camus
I felt as though I was partly unlearning what i had never learned and yet knew so well: I mean, how to live.
Albert Camus
Great feelings take with them their own universe, splendid or abject.
Albert Camus
There are some individuals who have too strong a craving, a will, and a nostalgia for happiness ever to reach it. They always retain a bitter and passionate aftertaste, and that's the best they can hope for.
Albert Camus
Every revolutionary ends up either by becoming an oppressor or a heretic.
Albert Camus
All modern revolutions have ended in a reinforcement of the power of the State.
Albert Camus
To know oneself, one should assert oneself.
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
Have you noticed that only death arouses our emotions? How we love thee friends who have just passed away, right? How we admire those master who no longer speak, their mouths full of dirt. We them we are not obligated.
Albert Camus
An achievement is a bondage. It obliges one to a higher achievement.
Albert Camus
