More quotes by Albert Camus

Image
My life was lucky so that I met, I loved (and disappointed) only outstanding people.
Albert Camus
Image
The Byronic hero, incapable of love, or capable only of an impossible love, suffers endlessly. He is solitary, languid, his condition exhausts him. If he wants to feel alive, it must be in the terrible exaltation of a brief and destructive action.
Albert Camus
Image
I opened myself to the gentle indifference of the world.
Albert Camus
Image
There is no sun without shadow, and it is essential to know the night.
Albert Camus
Image
Absurd- that is the light mind that establishes its own borders.
Albert Camus
Image
The only real progress lies in learning to be wrong all alone.
Albert Camus
Image
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
Image
There is no more futile punishment than futile and hopeless labor.
Albert Camus
Image
Once crime was as solitary as a cry of protest now it is as universal as science. Yesterday it was put on trial today it determines the law.
Albert Camus
Image
If nothing had any meaning, you would be right. But there is something that still has a meaning.
Albert Camus
Image
Moreover, most people, assuming they had not altogether abandoned religious observances, or did not combine them naively with a thoroughly immoral way of living, had replace normal religious practice by more or less extravagant superstitions.
Albert Camus
Image
At 30 a man should know himself like the palm of his hand, know the exact number of his defects and qualities, know how far he can go, foretell his failures - be what he is. And, above all, accept these things.
Albert Camus
Image
Life is meaningless, but worth living, provided you recognize it's meaningless.
Albert Camus
Image
There is no frontier between being and appearing.
Albert Camus
Image
She was wearing a pair of my pajamas with the sleeves rolled up. When she laughed I wanted her again. A minute later she asked me if I loved her. I told her it didn't mean anything but that I didn't think so. She looked sad. But as we were fixing lunch, and for no apparent reason, she laughed in such a way that I kissed her.
Albert Camus
Image
On good days, if you trust life, life has to answer you.
Albert Camus
Image
No longer were there individual destinies only a collective destiny, made of plague and emotions shared by all.
Albert Camus
Image
Men and women consume one another rapidly in what is called the act of love, or else settle down to a mild habit of conjugality. We seldom find a mean between these two extremes.
Albert Camus
Image
A liking for truth at any cost is a passion that spares nothing and that nothing resists. It's a vice, at times a comfort, or a selfishness.
Albert Camus
Image
Truth is not a virtue, but a passion. It is never charitable.
Albert Camus
