More quotes by Albert Camus

Image
To lose the touch of flowers and women's hands is the supreme separation.
Albert Camus
Image
Thus, in a middle course between these heights and depths, they drifted through life rather than lived, the prey of aimless days and sterile memories, like wandering shadows that could have acquired substance only by consenting to root themselves in the solid earth of their distress.
Albert Camus
Image
The society based on production is only productive, not creative.
Albert Camus
Image
Do not be afraid of spending quality time by yourself. Find meaning or don’t find meaning but “steal” some time and give it freely and exclusively to your own self. Opt for privacy and solitude. That doesn’t make you antisocial or cause you to reject the rest of the world. But you need to breathe. And you need to be.
Albert Camus
Image
I have never been able to renounce the light, the pleasure of being, and the freedom in which I grew up.
Albert Camus
Image
The more I produce, the less I am certain. On the road along which the artist walks, night falls ever more densely. Finally, he dies blind.
Albert Camus
Image
But what does it mean, the plague? It's life, that's all.
Albert Camus
Image
Humans are creatures, who spent their lifes trying to convince themselves, that their existence is not absurd
Albert Camus
Image
No human being, even the most passionately loved and passionately loving, is ever in our possession.
Albert Camus
Image
I do not want to believe that death is the gateway to another life. For me, it is a closed door. I do not say it is a step we must all take, but that it is a horrible and dirty adventure.
Albert Camus
Image
Don't believe your friends when they ask you to be honest with them. All they really want is to be maintained in the good opinion they have of themselves.
Albert Camus
Image
By giving too much importance to fine actions one may end by paying an indirect but powerful tribute to evil, because in so doing one implies that such fine actions are only valuable because they are rare, and that malice or indifference are far more common motives in the actions of men.
Albert Camus
Image
I don't want to be a genius-I have enough problems just trying to be a man.
Albert Camus
Image
Yes, and when the love of life disappears, no meaning can console us.
Albert Camus
Image
Freedom is the right to never have to lie.
Albert Camus
Image
In Oran, as elsewhere, for want of time and thought, people have to love one another without knowing it.
Albert Camus
Image
Man is the only creature that refuses to be what he is.
Albert Camus
Image
Mother died today. Or maybe yesterday I can't be sure.
Albert Camus
Image
Every writer, big or small, needs to say or write that the genius is always hissed at by his contemporaries. Naturally, this is not true, it happens only occasionally and often by chance. But this need within the writer is enlightening.
Albert Camus
Image
When love ceases to be tragic it is something else and the individual again throws himself in search of tragedy.
Albert Camus
