More quotes by Albert Camus

Image
When the body is sad, the heart languishes.
Albert Camus
Image
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
Image
You must have a love, a great love, to ensure an alibi at unjustified despairs that conquer all of us
Albert Camus
Image
I looked up at the mass of signs and stars in the night sky and laid myself open for the first time to the benign indifference of the world.
Albert Camus
Image
If one could only say just once: 'this is clear', all would be saved
Albert Camus
Image
The world is unimportant and whoever recognizes this conquers his liberty.
Albert Camus
Image
The gods had condemned Sisyphus to ceaselessly rolling a rock to the top of a mountain, whence the stone would fall back of its own weight. They had thought with some reason that there is no more dreadful punishment than futile and hopeless labor.
Albert Camus
Image
I have the loftiest idea, and the most passionate one, of art. Much too lofty to agree to subject it to anything. Much too passionate to want to divorce it from anything.
Albert Camus
Image
Morality, when formal, devours.
Albert Camus
Image
Men who have greatness within them don't go in for politics.
Albert Camus
Image
In our society, any man who doesn't cry at his mother's funeral is liable to be condemned to death.
Albert Camus
Image
Psychology is action, not thinking about oneself. We continue to shape our personality all our life. To know oneself, one should assert oneself.
Albert Camus
Image
Against eternal injustice, man must assert justice, and to protest against the universe of grief, he must create happiness.
Albert Camus
Image
A man's work is nothing but this slow trek to rediscover, through the detours of art, those two or three great and simple images in whose presence his heart first opened.
Albert Camus
Image
One must imagine Sisyphus happy.
Albert Camus
Image
But what are a hundred million deaths? When one has served in a war, one hardly knows what a dead man is, after a while. And since a dead man has no substance unless one has actually seen him dead, a hundred million corpses broadcast through history are no more than a puff of smoke in the imagination.
Albert Camus
Image
That's the way man is, cher monsieur. He has two faces: he can't love without self-love.
Albert Camus
Image
A liking for truth at any cost is a passion that spares nothing and that nothing resists. It's a vice, at times a comfort, or a selfishness.
Albert Camus
Image
The act of love is a confession.
Albert Camus
Image
You will always win if you make an effort, no matter how much. However, if you failed it means you were too lazy.
Albert Camus
