More quotes by Albert Camus
After a short silence the doctor raised himself a little in his chair and asked if Tarrou had an idea of the path to follow for attaining peace. Yes, he replied. The path of sympathy.
Albert Camus
The loss of love is the loss of all rights, even though one had them all.
Albert Camus
If the only significant history of human thought were to be written, it would have to be the history of its successive regrets and its impotences.
Albert Camus
Have pity, Lord, on those who love and are separated.
Albert Camus
The modern mind is in complete disarray. Knowledge has stretched itself to the point where neither the world nor our intelligence can find any foot-hold. It is a fact that we are suffering from nihilism.
Albert Camus
That's the way man is, cher monsieur. He has two faces: he can't love without self-love.
Albert Camus
There is scarcely any passion without struggle.
Albert Camus
Beauty, no doubt, does not make revolutions. But a day will come when revolutions will have need of beauty.
Albert Camus
An intellectual? Yes. And never deny it. An intellectual is someone whose mind watches itself. I like this, because I am happy to be both halves, the watcher and the watched. Can they be brought together? This is a practical question. We must get down to it. I despise intelligence really means: I cannot bear my doubts.
Albert Camus
You always get exaggerated notions of things you don't know anything about.
Albert Camus
Freedom of the press is perhaps the freedom that has suffered the most from the gradual degradation of the idea of liberty.
Albert Camus
Il y a dans les hommes plus de choses a' admirer que de choses a' me priser. There are more things to admire in people than to despise.
Albert Camus
What made me run away was doubtless not so much the fear of settling down, but of settling down permanently in something ugly.
Albert Camus
Art, at least, teaches us that man cannot be explained by history alone and that he also finds a reason for his existence in the order of nature.
Albert Camus
We don't have the time to completely be ourselves. We only have the room to be happy.
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
In our wildest aberrations we dream of an equilibrium we have left behind and which we naively expect to find at the end of our errors. Childish presumption which justifies the fact that child-nations, inheriting our follies, are now directing our history.
Albert Camus
It is the job of thinking people not to be on the side of the executioners.
Albert Camus
We are all exceptional cases. We all want to appeal against something! Each of us insists on being innocent at all cost, even if he has to accuse the whole human race and heaven itself.
Albert Camus
In the midst of winter, I found there was, within me, an invincible summer. And that makes me happy. For it says that no matter how hard the world pushes against me, within me, there’s something stronger – something better, pushing right back.
Albert Camus
