More quotes by Albert Camus
If the only significant history of human thought were to be written, it would have to be the history of its successive regrets and its impotences.
Albert Camus
To abandon oneself to principles is really to die - and to die for an impossible love which is the contrary of love.
Albert Camus
Happiness and the absurd are two sons of the same earth. They are inseparable.
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
Greatness consists in trying to be great. There is no other way.
Albert Camus
People don't love each other at our age, Marthe—they please each other, that's all. Later on, when you're old and impotent, you can love someone. At our age, you just think you do. That's all it is.
Albert Camus
Nothing is more despicable than respect based on fear.
Albert Camus
Those who lack the courage will always find a philosophy to justify it.
Albert Camus
For if I try to seize this self of which I feel sure, if I try to define and to summarize it, it is nothing but water slipping through my fingers.
Albert Camus
To remain a man in today's world, one must have not only unfailing energy and unwavering intensity, one must also have a little luck.
Albert Camus
The purpose of a writer is to keep civilization from destroying itself.
Albert Camus
This absurd, godless world is, then, peopled with men who think clearly and have ceased to hope. And I have not yet spoken of the most absurd character, who is the creator.
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
Blessed are the hearts that can bend they shall never be broken.
Albert Camus
In order to exist, man must rebel, but rebellion must respect the limits that it discovers in itself - limits where minds meet, and in meeting, begin to exist.
Albert Camus
Thus I draw from the absurd three consequences, which are my revolt, my freedom, and my passion. By the mere activity of consciousness I transform into a rule of life what was an invitation to death—and I refuse suicide.
Albert Camus
Existence is illusory and it is eternal.
Albert Camus
If something is going to happen to me, I want to be there.
Albert Camus
Always go too far, because that's where you'll find the truth
Albert Camus
Any country where I am not bored is a country that teaches me nothing.
Albert Camus
