More quotes by Albert Camus
The truth is that nothing is less sensational than pestilence, and by reason of their very duration great misfortunes are monotonous.
Albert Camus
Since we're all going to die, it's obvious that when and how don't matter.
Albert Camus
We can't do without dominating others or being served.... The essential thing, in sum, is being able to get angry without the other person being able to answer back.
Albert Camus
All that I know most surely about morality and obligations I owe to football.
Albert Camus
The great courage is to stare as squarely at the light as at death.
Albert Camus
How had I not seen that there was nothing more important than an execution, and that when you come right down to it, it was the only thing a man could truly be interested in?
Albert Camus
If nothing had any meaning, you would be right. But there is something that still has a meaning.
Albert Camus
Those who write clearly have readers.
Albert Camus
A lot of jobs don't allow you to be who you are. There is dignity in work only when it is work freely accepted.
Albert Camus
You cannot acquire experience by making experiments. You cannot create experience. You must undergo it.
Albert Camus
Marxism is not scientific: at the best, it has scientific prejudices.
Albert Camus
You make the mistake of thinking you have to choose, that you have to do what you want, that there are conditions for happiness. What matters — all that matters, really is the will to happiness, a kind of enormous, ever present consciousness. The rest - women , art, success — is nothing but excuses. A canvas waiting for our embroideries.
Albert Camus
I lived with the only continuity, day to day, of the me-me-me.
Albert Camus
Everything considered, a determined soul will always manage.
Albert Camus
I've seen of enough of people who die for an idea. I don't believe in heroism I know it's easy and I've learned it can be murderous. What interests me is living and dying for what one loves.
Albert Camus
All great deeds and all great thoughts have a ridiculous beginning. Great works are often born on a street corner or in a restaurant's revolving door.
Albert Camus
But all the long speeches, all the interminable days and hours that people had spent talking about my soul, had left me with the impression of a colorless swirling river that was making me dizzy.
Albert Camus
The real passion of the twentieth century is servitude.
Albert Camus
Thinking of the future, establishing aims for oneself, having preferences-all this presupposes a belief in freedom, even if one occasionally ascertains that one doesn't feel it.
Albert Camus
There can be no true goodness, nor true love, without the utmost clear-sightedness.
Albert Camus
