More quotes by Albert Camus
I was absent at the moment I took up the most space.
Albert Camus
Against eternal injustice, man must assert justice, and to protest against the universe of grief, he must create happiness.
Albert Camus
Ironic philosophies produce passionate works.
Albert Camus
And for all his life it would be kindness and love that made him cry, never pain or persecution, which on the contrary only reinforced his spirit and his resolution.
Albert Camus
There is but one freedom, to put oneself right with death. After that everything is possible.
Albert Camus
Rule: Start by looking for what is valid in every man.
Albert Camus
He seemed so certain about everything, didn't he? And yet none of his certainties was worth one hair of a woman's head. He wasn't even sure he was alive, because he was living like a dead man.
Albert Camus
All systems of morality are based on the idea that an action has consequences that legitimize or cancel it. A mind imbued with the absurd merely judges that those consequences must be considered calmly.
Albert Camus
Il y a dans les hommes plus de choses a' admirer que de choses a' me priser. There are more things to admire in people than to despise.
Albert Camus
In order to understand the world, one has to turn away from it on occasion in order to serve others better, one has to hold them at a distance for a time. But where can one find the solitude necessary to vigor, the deep breath in which the mind collects itself and courage gauges its strength? There remain big cities.
Albert Camus
Mother died today. Or maybe yesterday I can't be sure.
Albert Camus
We are all exceptional cases. We all want to appeal against something! Each of us insists on being innocent at all cost, even if he has to accuse the whole human race and heaven itself.
Albert Camus
A liking for truth at any cost is a passion that spares nothing and that nothing resists. It's a vice, at times a comfort, or a selfishness.
Albert Camus
The contradiction is this: man rejects the world as it is, without accepting the necessity of escaping it. In fact, men cling to the world and by far the majority do not want to abandon it.
Albert Camus
It is not rebellion itself which is noble but the demands it makes upon us.
Albert Camus
In Oran, as elsewhere, for want of time and thought, people have to love one another without knowing it.
Albert Camus
There are people who vindicate the world, who help others live just by their presence.
Albert Camus
There can be no question of masking the evidence, of suppressing the absurd by denying one of the terms of its equation. It is essential to know whether one can live with it or whether, on the other hand, logic commands one to die of it.
Albert Camus
At a certain level of suffering or injustice no one can do anything for anyone. Pain is solitary.
Albert Camus
Every writer, big or small, needs to say or write that the genius is always hissed at by his contemporaries. Naturally, this is not true, it happens only occasionally and often by chance. But this need within the writer is enlightening.
Albert Camus
