More quotes by Albert Camus
Imagination offers people consolation for what they cannot be, and humor for what they actually are.
Albert Camus
You have so much inside you, and the noblest happiness of all. Don’t just wait for a man to come along. That’s the mistake so many women make. Find your happiness in yourself.
Albert Camus
Every minute of life carries with it its miraculous value, and its face of eternal youth.
Albert Camus
For the existentials, negation is their God. To be precise, that god is maintained only through the negation of human reason. But, like suicides, gods change with men.
Albert Camus
For centuries the death penalty, often accompanied by barbarous refinements, has been trying to hold crime in check yet crime persists. Why? Because the instincts that are warring in man are not, as the law claims, constant forces in a state of equilibrium.
Albert Camus
The current motto for all of us can only be this: without giving up anything on the plane of justice, yield nothing on the plane of freedom.
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
I love life - that’s my real weakness. I love it so much that I am incapable of imagining what is not life.
Albert Camus
Whoever today speaks of human existence in terms of power, efficiency, and historical tasks is an actual or potential assassin.
Albert Camus
I grew up with the sea, and poverty for me was sumptuous then I lost the sea and found all luxuries gray and poverty unbearable.
Albert Camus
He had opened his heart to the sublime indifference of the universe
Albert Camus
A nihilist is not one who believes in nothing , but one who does not believe in what exists.
Albert Camus
...Any authentic creation is a gift to the future.
Albert Camus
He was expressing his certainty that my appeal would be granted, but I was carrying the burden of a sin from which I had to free myself. According to him, human justice was nothing and divine justice was everything. I pointed out it was the former that had condemned me.
Albert Camus
how hard it must be to live only with what one knows and what one remembers, cut off from what one hopes for!
Albert Camus
It is easy to shield the outer body from poisoned arrows, but it is impossible to shield the mind from the poisoned darts that originate within itself. Greed, anger, foolishness and the infatuations of egoism - these four poisoned darts originate within the mind and infect it with deadly poison.
Albert Camus
A work of art is a confession.
Albert Camus
To live is in itself a value judgment. To breathe is to judge.
Albert Camus
[Many artists], even the greatest ones, are not sure of their own existence. So they search for proof, they judge, they condemn. It strengthens them, it is the beginnings of existence. They are alone!
Albert Camus
[Love] is the type of disease that spares neither the intelligent nor the idiotic.
Albert Camus
