In fact it was always the Communist problem which was responsible for the opposition to [Albert] Camus. It was always and overall a political thing, a kind of misunderstanding.

More quotes by Catherine Camus
The Outsider isn't [Albert] Camus, but in The Outsider there are parts of Camus. There's this impression of exile.
Catherine Camus
Just after the war, the liberation of 1945, [Albert] Camus was well known, well loved by [Jean-Paul ] Sartre and all the intellectuals of that generation.
Catherine Camus
It's true that women appear very little in [Albert Camus] works. They have a very marginal place.
Catherine Camus
[Albert] Camus writes his acceptance speech for the Nobel Prize in thanks to his teacher.
Catherine Camus
I think [Albert Camus] wanted to write something to explain who he was, and how he was different from the age that had been conferred upon him.
Catherine Camus
I couldn't ever act or think on behalf of what my father [[Albert Camus]] would have said or done. He's an artist, he considers himself an artist, and so he takes on the responsibility of speaking for those who are not given the means or the opportunity.
Catherine Camus
[Albert Camus] was viewed by many as an austere moralist, but it was on the football pitch and in the theatre that he learnt his 'morality'. It's something sensed, it won't pass uniquely through thought. It couldn't possibly.
Catherine Camus
I think [Albert] Camus felt very solitary. You can see it in all his books.
Catherine Camus
We can't talk about the book [Albert Camus] wanted to write because we have barely its beginnings. He had written hardly any of it, but he needed to write it. It seems to me that if you look at the style of The First Man it conforms much more to who he was as a man, it resembles him very closely.
Catherine Camus
The First Man is [Albert Camus] posthumous last work. But in fact, in a certain way, it is his first, because in it you find the signs of his commitments, and of the whole way of writing as well. This mixture of austerity and sensuality, the will to speak for those not able to speak for themselves.
Catherine Camus
There are those who will find [Albert Camus] notions about absurdity appealing, and others who will be drawn by the solar side of his work, about Algeria, the heat and so on.
Catherine Camus
Politically, [Albert Camus] was in favour of a federation, and effectively he considered that like South Africa today (or as they are trying to do), there should be a mixed population with equal rights, the same rights for the Arab and the French populations, as well as all the other races living there.
Catherine Camus
Today this is what we are confronted with, I mean what is pure ideology, which takes no account of the human context. In economics it's the same. Economics wanted to take into account theory over and above human criteria, or the parameter 'man'.
Catherine Camus
I think for [Albert] Camus his mother was more than just that. She's love, absolute love. That's why it's written for her, dedicated to 'you who will never be able to read this book'.
Catherine Camus
[Albert Camus] wasn't writing under the influence of the Nobel Prize. That was an external thing for the artist in him.
Catherine Camus
[Albert] Camus points out that we have a lot of things to pass through. Everything has to be accepted before it can be improved.
Catherine Camus
There is an interview given by [ Jean-Paul] Sartre in the USA where he is asked what the future of French literature is, and he replies that the next great writer of the future is [Albert] Camus.
Catherine Camus
I think for an artist what is most important is to touch as many hearts as possible.
Catherine Camus
[Albert Camus] was not an existentialist!
Catherine Camus
Everyone has so much hope for a better humanity, and many, including [Jean Paul] Sartre, turned to the idea of communism in its beginnings. Generosity had a place in people's hopes.
