More quotes by Albert Camus
Capital punishment is the most premeditated of murders.
Albert Camus
Do not wait for the Last Judgment. It takes place every day.
Albert Camus
The greatness of man lies in his decision to be stronger than his condition.
Albert Camus
We get into the habit of living before acquiring the habit of thinking.
Albert Camus
We are all special cases.
Albert Camus
Absolute freedom mocks at justice. Absolute justice denies freedom.
Albert Camus
... unhappiness is like marriage. We believe we chose it, but then it is choosing us. That is how it is, we can do nothing about it.
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
I feel more fellowship with the defeated than with saints.
Albert Camus
There is but one freedom, To put oneself right with death. After that everything is possible. I cannot force you to believe in God. Believing in God amounts to coming to terms with death. When you have accepted death, the problem of God will be solved, and not the reverse.
Albert Camus
... habit starts at the second crime. At the first one, something is ending.
Albert Camus
Lying is not only saying what isn't true. It is also, in fact especially, saying more than is true and, in the case of the human heart, saying more than one feels. We all do it, every day, to make life simpler.
Albert Camus
In the vast reaches of the dry, cold night, thousands of stars were constantly appearing, and their sparkling icicles, loosened at once, began to slip gradually toward the horizon.
Albert Camus
It takes time to live. Like any work of art, life needs to be thought about.
Albert Camus
To correct a natural indifference I was placed half-way between misery and the sun. Misery kept me from believing that all was well under the sun, and the sun taught me that history wasn't everything.
Albert Camus
Life is meaningless, but worth living, provided you recognize it's meaningless.
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
Any country where I am not bored is a country that teaches me nothing.
Albert Camus
The innocent is the person who explains nothing
Albert Camus
For the first time, the first, I laid my heart open to the benign indifference of the universe. To feel it so like myself, indeed so brotherly, made me realize that I'd been happy, and that I was happy still.
Albert Camus
