More quotes by Albert Camus
There are some individuals who have too strong a craving, a will, and a nostalgia for happiness ever to reach it. They always retain a bitter and passionate aftertaste, and that's the best they can hope for.
Albert Camus
Whatever prevents you from doing your work has become your work.
Albert Camus
I see many people die because they judge that life is not worth living. I see others paradoxically getting killed for the ideas or illusions that give them a reason for living (what is called a reason for living is also an excellent reason for dying). I therefore conclude that the meaning of life is the most urgent of questions.
Albert Camus
Have you noticed that only death arouses our emotions? How we love thee friends who have just passed away, right? How we admire those master who no longer speak, their mouths full of dirt. We them we are not obligated.
Albert Camus
But when a man has had only four hours' sleep he isn't sentimental. He sees things as they are: that is to say, he sees them in the garish light of justice hideous, witless justice.
Albert Camus
Man wants to live, but it is useless to hope that this desire will dictate all his actions.
Albert Camus
Do not wait for the Last Judgment. It takes place every day.
Albert Camus
A symbol always transcends the one who makes use of it and makes him say in reality more than he is aware of expressing.
Albert Camus
Intelligence in chains loses in lucidity what it gains in intensity.
Albert Camus
I feel more fellowship with the defeated than with saints.
Albert Camus
Between history and the eternal I have chosen history because I like certainties. Of it, at least, I am certain, and how can I deny this force crushing me.
Albert Camus
One recognizes one's course by discovering the paths that stray from it.
Albert Camus
A work of art is a confession.
Albert Camus
The reasoning is classic in its clarity. If God does not exist, Kirilov is god. If God does not exist, Kirilov must kill himself. Kirilov must therefore kill himself to become god. That logic is absurd, but it is what is needed.
Albert Camus
If God did not exist, we should have to invent him. If God did exist, we should have to abolish Him.
Albert Camus
It takes time to live. Like any work of art, life needs to be thought about.
Albert Camus
The real passion of the twentieth century is servitude.
Albert Camus
We call first truths those we discover after all the others.
Albert Camus
Just as all thought, and primarily that of non-signification, signifies something, so there is no art that has no signification.
Albert Camus
It is immoral not to tell.
Albert Camus
