More quotes by Albert Camus

Image
Love is the kind of illness that does not spare the intelligent or the dull.
Albert Camus
Image
I conceived at least one great love in my life, of which I was always the object.
Albert Camus
Image
Truly fertile Music, the only kind that will move us, that we shall truly appreciate, will be a Music conducive to Dream, which banishes all reason and analysis. One must not wish first to understand and then to feel. Art does not tolerate Reason.
Albert Camus
Image
For who would dare to assert that eternal happiness can compensate for a single moment's human suffering
Albert Camus
Image
I sometimes need to write things which I cannot completely control but which therefore prove that what is in me is stronger than I am.
Albert Camus
Image
Beginning to think is beginning to be undermined. Society has but little connection with such beginnings. The worm is in man's heart. That is where it must be sought. One must follow and understand this fatal game that leads from lucidity in the face of existence to flight from light.
Albert Camus
Image
Men must live and create. Live to the point of tears.
Albert Camus
Image
Accept life, take it as it is? Stupid. The means of doing otherwise? Far from our having to take it, it is life that possesses us and on occasion shuts our mouths.
Albert Camus
Image
There is but one freedom, to put oneself right with death. After that everything is possible.
Albert Camus
Image
The true work of art is always on the human scale. It is essentially the one that says, 'less.
Albert Camus
Image
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
Image
But all the long speeches, all the interminable days and hours that people had spent talking about my soul, had left me with the impression of a colorless swirling river that was making me dizzy.
Albert Camus
Image
All great deeds and all great thoughts have a ridiculous beginning. Great works are often born on a street corner or in a restaurant's revolving door.
Albert Camus
Image
But what are a hundred million deaths? When one has served in a war, one hardly knows what a dead man is, after a while. And since a dead man has no substance unless one has actually seen him dead, a hundred million corpses broadcast through history are no more than a puff of smoke in the imagination.
Albert Camus
Image
Without work, all life goes rotten. But when work is soulless, life stifles and dies.
Albert Camus
Image
An intellectual is someone whose mind watches itself.
Albert Camus
Image
Suffering gives us no special rights.
Albert Camus
Image
Art, at least, teaches us that man cannot be explained by history alone and that he also finds a reason for his existence in the order of nature.
Albert Camus
Image
Men and women consume one another rapidly in what is called the act of love, or else settle down to a mild habit of conjugality. We seldom find a mean between these two extremes.
Albert Camus
Image
There is nothing abstract about pain. It is specific, it is real, and, when it is intense, it is world destroying.
Albert Camus
