More quotes by Albert Camus
Greatness consists in trying to be great. There is no other way.
Albert Camus
Every minute of life carries with it its miraculous value, and its face of eternal youth.
Albert Camus
Europe has lived on its contradictions, flourished on its differences, and, constantly transcending itself thereby, has created a civilization on which the whole world depends even when rejecting it. This is why I do not believe in a Europe unified under the weight of an ideology or of a technocracy that overlooked these differences.
Albert Camus
The real passion of the twentieth century is servitude.
Albert Camus
A stranger to myself and to the world, armed solely with a thought that negates itself as soon as it asserts, what is this condition in which I can have peace only by refusing to know and to live, in which the appetite for conquest bumps into walls that defy its assaults?
Albert Camus
In the light, the earth remains our first and our last love. Our brothers are breathing under the same sky as we justice is a living thing. Now is born that strange joy which helps one live and die, and which we shall never again postpone to a later time.
Albert Camus
I grew up with the sea, and poverty for me was sumptuous then I lost the sea and found all luxuries gray and poverty unbearable.
Albert Camus
No matter what cause one defends, it will suffer permanent disgrace if one resorts to blind attacks on crowds of innocent people.
Albert Camus
There is no frontier between being and appearing.
Albert Camus
The great courage is to stare as squarely at the light as at death.
Albert Camus
May heaven protect us, cher monsieur, from being set on a pedestal by our friends!!!
Albert Camus
If absolute truth belongs to anyone in this world, it certainly does not belong to the man or party that claims to possess it.
Albert Camus
The certainty of a God giving meaning to life far surpasses in attractiveness the ability to behave badly with impunity. The choice would not be hard to make. But there is no choice and that is where the bitterness comes in. The absurd does not liberate it binds.
Albert Camus
The absurd hero's refusal to hope becomes his singular ability to live in the present with passion.
Albert Camus
She was wearing a pair of my pajamas with the sleeves rolled up. When she laughed I wanted her again. A minute later she asked me if I loved her. I told her it didn't mean anything but that I didn't think so. She looked sad. But as we were fixing lunch, and for no apparent reason, she laughed in such a way that I kissed her.
Albert Camus
Death means nothing to men like me. It's the event that proves them right.
Albert Camus
It is immoral not to tell.
Albert Camus
Note, besides, that it is no more immoral to directly rob citizens than to slip indirect taxes into the price of goods that they cannot do without.
Albert Camus
Maman used to say that you can always find something to be happy about.
Albert Camus
If nothing had any meaning, you would be right. But there is something that still has a meaning.
Albert Camus
