More quotes by Albert Camus
We turn our backs on nature we are ashamed of beauty. Our wretched tragedies have a smell of the office clinging to them, and the blood that trickles from them is the color of printer's ink.
Albert Camus
The act of love . . . is a confession. Selfishness screams aloud, vanity shows off, or else true generosity reveals itself.
Albert Camus
We get into the habit of living before acquiring the habit of thinking. In that race which daily hastens us towards death, the body maintains its irreparable lead.
Albert Camus
Humans are creatures, who spent their lifes trying to convince themselves, that their existence is not absurd
Albert Camus
Heroism is accessible. Happiness is more difficult.
Albert Camus
In Holland, everyone is an expert in painting and in tulips.
Albert Camus
In every guilty man, there is some innocence. This makes every absolute condemnation revolting.
Albert Camus
We can't do without dominating others or being served.... The essential thing, in sum, is being able to get angry without the other person being able to answer back.
Albert Camus
There may be responsible persons, but there are no guilty ones.
Albert Camus

Albert Camus

Albert Camus
I don't want to represent man as he is, but only as he might be.
Albert Camus

Albert Camus
On the ridge where the great artist moves forward, every step is an adventure, an extreme risk. In that risk, however, and only there, lays the freedom of Art.
Albert Camus
At that time, I often thought that if I had had to live in the trunk of a dead tree, with nothing to do but look up at the sky flowing overhead, little by little I would have gotten used to it.
Albert Camus
stupidity has a knack of getting its way as we should see if we were not always so much wrapped up in ourselves
Albert Camus
Life can be magnificent and overwhelming -- that is the whole tragedy. Without beauty, love, or danger it would almost be easy to live.
Albert Camus
You have so much inside you, and the noblest happiness of all. Don’t just wait for a man to come along. That’s the mistake so many women make. Find your happiness in yourself.
Albert Camus
I was absent at the moment I took up the most space.
Albert Camus
We have art in order not to die of life.
Albert Camus
