More quotes by Albert Camus

Albert Camus

Albert Camus
One leader, one people, signifies one master and millions of slaves.
Albert Camus
There are people who prefer to look their fate in the eye
Albert Camus
Happiness implied a choice, and within that choice a concerted will, a lucid desire.
Albert Camus
It was in Spain that [my generation] learned that one can be right and yet be beaten, that force can vanquish spirit, that there are times when courage is not its own recompense. It is this, doubtless, which explains why so many, the world over, feel the Spanish drama as a personal tragedy.
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
To feel absolutely right is the beginning of the end.
Albert Camus
It should be pointed out for our own guidance in the West that the continual signing of manifestoes and protests is one of the surest ways of undermining the efficacy and dignity of the intellectual. There exists a permanent blackmail that we all know and that we must have the often solitary courage to resist.
Albert Camus
Freedom is nothing but a chance to be better.
Albert Camus

Albert Camus
I know [my label], in any case: a double face, a charming Janus, and underneath, the house motto: Be wary. On my business cards:Jean-Baptiste Clamence, actor.
Albert Camus
I do not want to found anything on the incomprehensible. I want to know whether I can live with what I know and with that alone.
Albert Camus
Some cry: 'Love me!!' Others: 'Don't love me!!' But a certain genus, the worst and most unhappy, cries: 'Don't love me and be faithful to me!!'
Albert Camus
Everybody knows that pestilences have a way of recurring in the world yet somehow we find it hard to believe in ones that crash down on our heads from a blue sky.
Albert Camus
Those who love, friends and lovers, know that love is not only a blinding flash, but also a long and painful struggle in the darkness for the realization of definitive recognition and reconciliation.
Albert Camus
Every stone here sweats with suffering, I know that. I have never looked at them without a feeling of anguish. But deep in my heart I know that the most wretched among you have seen a divine face emerge from their darkness. That is the face you are asked to see.
Albert Camus
Empires and churches are born under the sun of death.
Albert Camus
If it adapts itself to what the majority of our society wants, art will be a meaningless recreation.
Albert Camus
