More quotes by Albert Camus
Happiness implied a choice, and within that choice a concerted will, a lucid desire.
Albert Camus
From Pandora's Box, where all the ills of humanity swarmed, the Greeks drew out hope after all the others, as the most dreadful of all. I know no more stirring symbol for, contrary to the general belief, hope equals resignation. And to live is not to resign oneself.
Albert Camus
It is natural to give a clear view of the world after accepting the idea that it must be clear.
Albert Camus
You know, a man always judges himself by the balance he can strike between the needs of his body and the demands of his mind. You're judging yourself now, Mersaut, and you don't like the sentence.
Albert Camus
It was previously a question of finding out whether or not life had to have a meaning to be lived. It now becomes clear on the contrary that it will be lived all the better if it has no meaning
Albert Camus
We must learn how to lend ourselves to dreaming when dreams lend themselves to us.
Albert Camus
The only way out [of international dictatorship] is to place international law above governments, which means [...] that there must be a parliament for making it, and that parliament must be constituted by means of worldwide elections in which all nations will take part.
Albert Camus
Where there is no hope, we must invent it.
Albert Camus
The end of their passion consists of loving uselessly at the moment when it is pointless.
Albert Camus
There is but one truly serious philosophical problem and that is suicide. Judging whether life is or is not worth living amounts to answering the fundamental question of philosophy. All the rest — whether or not the world has three dimensions, whether the mind has nine or twelve categories — comes afterwards. These are games one must first answer.
Albert Camus
Man stands face to face with the irrational. He feels within him his longing for happiness and for reason. The absurd is born of this confrontation between the human need and the unreasonable silence of the world.
Albert Camus
My great idea is that we must forgive the Pope. First of all, he needs it more than anyone else. Besides, it is the only way of placing oneself above him.
Albert Camus
Seeking what is true is not seeking what is desirable.
Albert Camus
Revolution, in order to be creative, cannot do without either a moral or metaphysical rule to balance the insanity of history.
Albert Camus
I know of only one duty, and that is to love.
Albert Camus
In truth, I was so good at being a man, with such plenitude and simplicity, that I thought I was something of a superman.
Albert Camus
Every great work makes the human face more admirable and richer, and this is its whole secret.
Albert Camus
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
We are condemned to live together.
Albert Camus
Everybody knows that pestilences have a way of recurring in the world yet somehow we find it hard to believe in ones that crash down on our heads from a blue sky.
Albert Camus
