More quotes by Albert Camus
A craving for freedom and independence is generated only in a man still living on hope.
Albert Camus
The welfare of the people in particular has always been the alibi of tyrants.
Albert Camus
Man stands face to face with the irrational. He feels within him his longing for happiness and for reason. The absurd is born of this confrontation between the human need and the unreasonable silence of the world.
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
Ah! my friend, for whomever is alone, without a god and without a master, the weight of time is terrible. One must then choose a master, God being out of style.
Albert Camus
We are all special cases.
Albert Camus
Absolute freedom mocks at justice. Absolute justice denies freedom.
Albert Camus
Yes, I'm happy, in human terms.
Albert Camus
Truth, like light, blinds. Falsehood, on the contrary, is a beautiful twilight that enhances every object.
Albert Camus
If one could only say just once: 'this is clear', all would be saved
Albert Camus
And indeed it could be said that once the faintest stirring of hope became possible, the dominion of plague was ended.
Albert Camus
What the world expects of Christians is that Christians should speak out, loud and clear... in such a way that never a doubt, never the slightest doubt, could rise in the heart of the simplest man.
Albert Camus
Man is an idea, and a precious small idea once he turns his back on love.
Albert Camus
There are places where the mind dies so that a truth which is its very denial may be born.
Albert Camus
People have played on words and pretended to believe that refusing to grant a meaning to life necessarily leads to declaring that it is not worth living. In truth, there is no necessary common measure between these two judgments.
Albert Camus
Nothing in life is worth, turning your back on, if you love it.
Albert Camus
Maman used to say that you can always find something to be happy about. In my prison, when the sky turned red and a new day slipped into my cell, I found out that she was right.
Albert Camus
More and more, when faced with the world of men, the only reaction is one of individualism. Man alone is an end unto himself. Everything one tries to do for the common good ends in failure.
Albert Camus
A man without ethics is a wild beast loosed upon this world.
Albert Camus
The soul of a murderer is blind
Albert Camus
