More quotes by Albert Camus
Murder is terribly exhausting.
Albert Camus
Outside of that single fatality of death, everything, joy or happiness, is liberty.
Albert Camus
Truth is mysterious, elusive, always to be conquered. Liberty is dangerous, as hard to live with as it is elating. We must march toward these two goals, painfully but resolutely, certain in advance of our failings on so long a road.
Albert Camus
Absurd- that is the light mind that establishes its own borders.
Albert Camus
Believe me, for certain men at least, not taking what one doesn't desire is the hardest thing in the world.
Albert Camus
The principle can be established that for a man who does not cheat what he believes to be true must determine his actions.
Albert Camus
I felt as I hadn't felt for ages. I had a foolish desire to burst into tears. for the first time I'd realized how all these people loathed me.
Albert Camus
A writer cannot put himself today in service of those who make history he is at the service of those who suffer it.
Albert Camus
There is merely bad luck in not being loved there is misfortune in not loving. All of us, today, are dying of this misfortune. For violence and hatred dry up the heart itself the long fight for justice exhausts the love that nevertheless gave birth to it.
Albert Camus
An achievement is a bondage. It obliges one to a higher achievement.
Albert Camus
But it's not easy. I've been thinking it over for years. While we loved each other we didn't need words to make ourselves understood. But people don't love forever. A time came when I should have found the words to keep her with me, only I couldn't.
Albert Camus
We do not know how to eliminate evil, but we do know how to feed some of the hungry and heal some of the infirmed.
Albert Camus
It is not your paintings I like, it is your painting.
Albert Camus
I like people who dream or talk to themselves interminably I like them, for they are double. They are here and elsewhere.
Albert Camus
One might think, that a period which, within fifty years, uproots, enslaves or kills seventy million human beings, should only, and forthwith, be condemned. But also its guilt must be understood.
Albert Camus
There is scarcely any passion without struggle.
Albert Camus
I lived with the only continuity, day to day, of the me-me-me.
Albert Camus
True artists scorn nothing.
Albert Camus
The absurd is sin without God.
Albert Camus
Only it takes time to be happy. A lot of time. Happiness, too, is a long patience.
Albert Camus
