More quotes by Albert Camus
At any street corner the feeling of absurdity can strike any man in the face.
Albert Camus
At 30 a man should know himself like the palm of his hand, know the exact number of his defects and qualities, know how far he can go, foretell his failures - be what he is. And, above all, accept these things.
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
Basically, at the very bottom of life, which seduces us all, there is only absurdity, and more absurdity. And maybe that's what gives us our joy for living, because the only thing that can defeat absurdity is lucidity.
Albert Camus
For the existentials, negation is their God. To be precise, that god is maintained only through the negation of human reason. But, like suicides, gods change with men.
Albert Camus
Where there is no hope, we must invent it.
Albert Camus
They knew now that if there is one thing one can always yearn for, and sometimes attain, it is human love.
Albert Camus
A man without ethics is a wild beast loosed upon this world.
Albert Camus
Likewise and during every day of an unillustrious life, time carries us. But a moment always comes when we have to carry it.
Albert Camus
Any country where I am not bored is a country that teaches me nothing.
Albert Camus
The look of success, when it is worn a certain way, would infuriate a jackass.
Albert Camus
It was previously a question of finding out whether or not life had to have a meaning to be lived. It now becomes clear on the contrary that it will be lived all the better if it has no meaning
Albert Camus
One grows out of pity when it's useless.
Albert Camus
She was waiting, but she didn't know for what. She was aware only of her solitude, and of the penetrating cold, and of a greater weight in the region of her heart.
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
There is no more futile punishment than futile and hopeless labor.
Albert Camus
Beware of those who say: I know this too well to be able to express it. For if they cannot do so, this is because they don't know it or because out of laziness they stopped at the outer crust.
Albert Camus
... one cannot be happy in exile or in oblivion. One cannot always be a stranger. I want to return to my homeland, make all my loved ones happy. I see no further than this.
Albert Camus
Politics and the fate of mankind are formed by men without ideals and without greatness. Those who have greatness within them do not go in for politics.
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
