More quotes by Albert Camus

Albert Camus

Albert Camus
There is no fate that cannot be surmounted by scorn.
Albert Camus
Nothing in life is worth, turning your back on, if you love it.
Albert Camus
Why must one love rarely to love well?
Albert Camus
I felt the urge to reassure him that I was like everybody else, just like everybody else.
Albert Camus
Greatness consists in trying to be great. There is no other way.
Albert Camus
... here, where the gaze is stopped everywhere, the whole earth is designed so that the face turns upward and the gaze implores. Oh! I hate this world where we are reduced to God.
Albert Camus
One leader, one people, signifies one master and millions of slaves.
Albert Camus
The opposite of an idealist is too often a man without love.

One cannot be a part-time nihilist.
Albert Camus
