More quotes by Albert Camus

Image
I used to advertise my loyalty and I don't believe there is a single person I loved that I didn't eventually betray.
Albert Camus
Image
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
Image
Autumn is a second spring when every leaf is a flower.
Albert Camus
Image
Those who weep for the happy periods which they encounter in history acknowledge what they want not the alleviation but the silencing of misery.
Albert Camus
Image
A loveless world is a dead world.
Albert Camus
Image
All that remains is a fate whose outcome alone is fatal. Outside of that single fatality of death, everything, joy or happiness, is liberty. A world remains of which man is the sole master. What bound him was the illusion of another world.
Albert Camus
Image
What will be left of the power of example if it is proved that capital punishment has another power, and a very real one, which degrades men to the point of shame, madness, and murder?
Albert Camus
Image
We are not certain, we are never certain. If we were we could reach some conclusions, and we could, at last, make others take us seriously.
Albert Camus
Image
But it's not easy. I've been thinking it over for years. While we loved each other we didn't need words to make ourselves understood. But people don't love forever. A time came when I should have found the words to keep her with me, only I couldn't.
Albert Camus
Image
The best are led to make greater demands upon themselves. As for those who succumb, they did not deserve to survive.
Albert Camus
Image
Every artist preserves deep within him a single source from which, throughout his lifetime, he draws what he is, and what he says. When the source dries up, the work withers and crumbles.
Albert Camus
Image
If it adapts itself to what the majority of our society wants, art will be a meaningless recreation.
Albert Camus
Image
Ah, mon cher, for anyone who is alone, without God and without a master, the weight of days is dreadful.
Albert Camus
Image
Every revolutionary ends up either by becoming an oppressor or a heretic.
Albert Camus
Image
I hope the dogs don't bark tonight. I always think it's mine
Albert Camus
Image
In order to speak about all and to all, one has to speak of what all know and of the reality common to us all. The sea, rains, necessity, desire, the struggle against death... these are things that unite us all.
Albert Camus
Image
Alas, after a certain age every man is responsible for his face.
Albert Camus
Image
... We need the sweet pain of anticipation to tell us we are really alive.
Albert Camus
Image
Believe me, for certain men at least, not taking what one doesn't desire is the hardest thing in the world.
Albert Camus
Image
There was a time when I didn’t at any minute have the slightest idea how I could reach the next one. Yes, one can wage war in this world, ape love, torture one’s fellow man, or merely say evil of one’s neighbour while knitting. But, in certain cases, carrying on, merely continuing, is superhuman.
Albert Camus
