Most men are like me. They cannot live in a universe where the most bizarre thought can in one second enter into the realm of reality--where, most often, it does enter, like a knife in a heart.

More quotes by Albert Camus
People hasten to judge in order not to be judged themselves.
Albert Camus
Those who weep for the happy periods which they encounter in history acknowledge what they want not the alleviation but the silencing of misery.
Albert Camus
Where there is no hope, it is incumbent on us to invent it.
Albert Camus
There is merely bad luck in not being loved there is misfortune in not loving. All of us, today, are dying of this misfortune. For violence and hatred dry up the heart itself the long fight for justice exhausts the love that nevertheless gave birth to it.
Albert Camus
Everything considered, a determined soul will always manage.
Albert Camus
After all manner of professors have done their best for us, the place we are to get knowledge is in books. The true university of these days is a collection of books.
Albert Camus
There can be no true goodness, nor true love, without the utmost clear-sightedness.
Albert Camus
For ever, I shall be a stranger to myself.
Albert Camus
After another moment's silence she mumbled that I was peculiar, that that was probably why she loved me but that one day I might disgust her for the very same reason.
Albert Camus
Art, at least, teaches us that man cannot be explained by history alone and that he also finds a reason for his existence in the order of nature.
Albert Camus
stupidity has a knack of getting its way as we should see if we were not always so much wrapped up in ourselves
Albert Camus
Gilbert Jonas, painter, believed in his star.... His own faith was not, however, without its virtues because it consisted in admitting, in some obscure way, that he would obtain many things without deserving them.
Albert Camus
I had the whole sky in my eyes and it was blue and gold.
Albert Camus
The artist forges himself to the others, midway between the beauty he cannot do without and the community he cannot tear himself away from. That is why true artists scorn nothing: they are obliged to understand rather than to judge.
Albert Camus
These are facts the heart can feel yet they call for careful study before they become clear to the intellect.
Albert Camus
There are causes worth dying for, but none worth killing for.
Albert Camus
To be famous, in fact, one has only to kill one's landlady.
Albert Camus
To those who despair of everything reason cannot provide a faith, but only passion, and in this case it must be the same passion that lay at the root of the despair, namely humiliation and hatred.
Albert Camus
Nature is a burning and frigid, transparent and limited universe in which nothing is possible but everything is given.
Albert Camus
We are all exceptional cases. We all want to appeal against something! Each of us insists on being innocent at all cost, even if he has to accuse the whole human race and heaven itself.
Albert Camus
