More quotes by Albert Camus

Albert Camus
After awhile you could get used to anything.
Albert Camus
Finally, and most of all, words failed him.
Albert Camus
It's not the struggle that makes us artists, but Art that makes us struggle.
Albert Camus

Albert Camus
There is always a philosophy for lack of courage.
Albert Camus
There are plagues, and there are victims, and it's the duty of good men not to join forces with the plagues.
Albert Camus

Albert Camus
What is a rebel? A man who says no: but whose refusal does not imply a renunciation.
Albert Camus

Albert Camus
but perhaps we should love what we cannot understand
Albert Camus
I am too much in love with my lies and hypocrisies not to confess them fervently.
Albert Camus
The danger of lectures is that they create the illusion of teaching for teachers, and the illusion of learning for learners.
Albert Camus
When you have once seen the glow of happiness on the face of a beloved person, you know that a man can have no vocation but to awaken that light on the faces surrounding him. In the depth of winter, I finally learned that within me there lay an invincible summer.
Albert Camus
Truth and freedom, having few lovers, are demanding mistresses.
Albert Camus
That is love, to give away everything, to sacrifice everything, without the slightest desire to get anything in return.3
Albert Camus
A work of art is a confession.
Albert Camus
Being is good, but getting rich is better.... If the gods had only the riches of men's adoration, they would be as poor as poor Caligula.
Albert Camus
No excuses ever, for anyone that is my principle at the outset. I deny the good intention, the respectable mistake, the indiscretion, the extenuating circumstance. With me there is no giving of absolution or blessing.
Albert Camus
