More quotes by Albert Camus
Thus each of us had to be content to live only for the day, alone under the vast indifference of the sky.
Albert Camus
But it's not easy. I've been thinking it over for years. While we loved each other we didn't need words to make ourselves understood. But people don't love forever. A time came when I should have found the words to keep her with me, only I couldn't.
Albert Camus
None of the evils which totalitarianism ... claims to remedy is worse than totalitarianism itself.
Albert Camus
In art, rebellion is consummated and perpetuated in the act of real creation, not in criticism or commentary.
Albert Camus
Everything is true, and nothing is true!
Albert Camus
On the ridge where the great artist moves forward, every step is an adventure, an extreme risk. In that risk, however, and only there, lays the freedom of Art.
Albert Camus
In the world there is, parallel to the force of death and constraint, an enormous force of persuasion that is called culture.
Albert Camus
Rebellion cannot exist without a strange form of love.
Albert Camus
The purpose of a writer is to keep civilization from destroying itself.
Albert Camus
It is better for the intellectual not to talk all the time. To begin with, it would exhaust him, and, above all, it would keep him from thinking. He must create if he can, first and foremost, especially if his creation does not side-step the problems of his time.
Albert Camus
Lucifer also has died with God, and from his ashes has arisen a spiteful demon who does not even understand the object of his venture.
Albert Camus
We are not certain, we are never certain.
Albert Camus
The slave begins by demanding justice and ends by wanting to wear a crown.
Albert Camus
History only exists, in the final analysis, for God.
Albert Camus
False judges are held up in the world's admiration and I alone know the true ones.
Albert Camus
It is always easy to be logical. It is almost impossible to be logical to the bitter end.
Albert Camus
I was tormented by my desire for a woman ... I thought so much about a woman, about women, about all the ones I had known, about all the circumstances in which I had enjoyed them, that my cell would be filled with their faces and crowded with my desires.
Albert Camus
Those who prefer their principles over their happiness, they refuse to be happy outside the conditions they seem to have attached to their happiness.
Albert Camus
Freedom is not a reward or a decoration that is celebrated with champagne...Oh no! It's a...long distance race, quite solitary and very exhausting.
Albert Camus
But in the end one needs more courage to live than to kill himself.
Albert Camus
