More quotes by Albert Camus

Image
In the next few years the struggle will not be between utopia and reality, but between different utopias, each trying to impose itself on reality ... we can no longer hope to save everything, but ... we can at least try to save lives, so that some kind of future, if perhaps not the ideal one, will remain possible.
Albert Camus
Image
I'd have given ten conversations with Einstein for a first meeting with a pretty chorus girl.
Albert Camus
Image
But what does it mean, the plague? It's life, that's all.
Albert Camus
Image
Old married people look so much alike that they have the same number of hairs in their ears.
Albert Camus
Image
So all a man could win in the conflict between plague and life was knowledge and memories.
Albert Camus
Image
I can feel this heart inside me and I conclude it exists. I can touch this world and I also conclude that it exists. All my knowledge ends at this point. The rest is hypothesis.
Albert Camus
Image
To assert in any case that a man must be absolutely cut off from society because he is absolutely evil amounts to saying that society is absolutely good, and no-one in his right mind will believe this today.
Albert Camus
Image
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
Image
At the heart of all beauty lies something inhuman, and these hills, the softness of the sky, the outline of these trees at this very minute lose the illusory meaning with which we had clothed them, henceforth more remote than a lost paradise . . . that denseness and that strangeness of the world is absurd.
Albert Camus
Image
The mind's deepest desire, even in its most elaborate operations, parallels man's unconscious feeling in the face of his universe: it is an insistence upon familiarity, an appetite for clarity.
Albert Camus
Image
Life is meaningless, but worth living, provided you recognize it's meaningless.
Albert Camus
Image
In the world today, only a philosophy of eternity could justify non-violence.
Albert Camus
Image
In order to exist just once in the world, it is necessary never again to exist.
Albert Camus
Image
It is better for the intellectual not to talk all the time. To begin with, it would exhaust him, and, above all, it would keep him from thinking. He must create if he can, first and foremost, especially if his creation does not side-step the problems of his time.
Albert Camus
Image
One dies if necessary, one breaks rather than bending. But I bend, because I continue to love myself.
Albert Camus
Image
As a remedy to life in society I would suggest the big city. Nowadays, it is the only desert within our means.
Albert Camus
Image
I have no idea what's awaiting me, or what will happen when this all ends. For the moment I know this: there are sick people and they need curing.
Albert Camus
Image
Without culture, and the relative freedom it implies, society, even when perfect, is but a jungle. This is why any authentic creation is a gift to the future.
Albert Camus
Image
Men who have greatness within them don't go in for politics.
Albert Camus
Image
Nothing is more despicable than respect based on fear.
