More quotes by Albert Camus
Proof is never definitive, after all one has to begin again with each new person.
Albert Camus
No one who lives in the sunlight of gratitude that things aren't worse makes a failure of his or her life.
Albert Camus
There can be no question of masking the evidence, of suppressing the absurd by denying one of the terms of its equation. It is essential to know whether one can live with it or whether, on the other hand, logic commands one to die of it.
Albert Camus
Everything is true, and nothing is true!
Albert Camus
Believe me, religions are on the wrong track the moment they moralize and fulminate commandments. God is not needed to create guilt or to punish. Our fellow men suffice, aided by ourselves.
Albert Camus
That is love, to give away everything, to sacrifice everything, without the slightest desire to get anything in return.3
Albert Camus
We don't have the time to completely be ourselves. We only have the room to be happy.
Albert Camus
The nobility of our calling will always be rooted in two commitments difficult to observe: refusal to lie about what we know, and resistance to oppression.
Albert Camus
The love of God is a hard love. It demands total self-surrender, disdain of our human personality. And yet it alone can reconcile us to suffering and the deaths of children, it alone can justify them, since we cannot understand them, and we can only make God's will ours.
Albert Camus
Democracy is not the law of the majority but the protection of the minority.
Albert Camus
The opposite of an idealist is too often a man without love.
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
I draw from the Absurd three consequences: my revolt, my liberty, my passion.
Albert Camus
I felt the urge to reassure him that I was like everybody else, just like everybody else.
Albert Camus
If the descent is thus sometimes performed in sorrow, it can also take place in joy.
Albert Camus
Every artist preserves deep within him a single source from which, throughout his lifetime, he draws what he is, and what he says. When the source dries up, the work withers and crumbles.
Albert Camus
Thus, in a middle course between these heights and depths, they drifted through life rather than lived, the prey of aimless days and sterile memories, like wandering shadows that could have acquired substance only by consenting to root themselves in the solid earth of their distress.
Albert Camus
There is but one truly serious philosophical problem and that is suicide.
Albert Camus
When love ceases to be tragic it is something else and the individual again throws himself in search of tragedy.
Albert Camus
the one who doesnt play, doesnt win anything, but he actually looses somehting, {playing}
Albert Camus
