More quotes by Albert Camus
Here lives a free man. Nobody serves him.
Albert Camus
In the world today, only a philosophy of eternity could justify non-violence.
Albert Camus
Happiness implied a choice, and within that choice a concerted will, a lucid desire.
Albert Camus
To understand one's world, one must sometimes turn away from it! To serve better, one must briefly hold it at a distance. Where can the necessary solitude be found, the long breathing space in which mind gathers its strength and takes stock of its courage.
Albert Camus
...he said firmly, God can help you. All the men I’ve seen in your position turned to Him in their time of trouble. Obviously, I replied, they were at liberty to do so, if they felt like it. I, however, didn’t want to be helped, and I hadn’t time to work up interest for something that didn’t interest me.
Albert Camus
Life is the result of all your choices.
Albert Camus
Metaphysical rebellion is a claim, motivated by the concept of a complete unity, against the suffering of life and death and a protest against the human condition both for its incompleteness, thanks to death, and its wastefulness, thanks to evil.
Albert Camus
For ever, I shall be a stranger to myself.
Albert Camus
Do not be surprised. I do not like writers and I cannot stand their lies. They speak so as not to listen to themselves speak. If they did listen, they would know that they are nothing and then they would no longer be able to speak.
Albert Camus
I have no friends, I only have accomplices now. On the other hand, my accomplices are more numerous than my friends: they are the human race.
Albert Camus
I'd buy myself a cabin on the beach, I'd put some glue in my navel, and I'd stick a flag in there. Then I'd wait to see which way the wind was blowing.
Albert Camus
Men are convinced of your arguments, your sincerity, and the seriousness of your efforts only by your death.
Albert Camus
There are always reasons for murdering a man. But there is no justification for his existence.
Albert Camus
Somebody has to have the last word. If not, every argument could be opposed by another and we'd never be done with it.
Albert Camus
Rebellion cannot exist without the feeling that somewhere, in some way, you are justified.
Albert Camus
Mistakes are joyful, truth infernal.
Albert Camus
To stay or to go, it amounted to the same thing.
Albert Camus
May heaven protect us, cher monsieur, from being set on a pedestal by our friends!!!
Albert Camus
The absurd depends as much on man as on the world. For the moment, it is all that links them together.
Albert Camus
Any country where I am not bored is a country that teaches me nothing.
Albert Camus
