More quotes by Catherine Camus
It's true that women appear very little in [Albert Camus] works. They have a very marginal place.
Catherine Camus
We must remember that [Albert] Camus wrote not even a third of what he had wished to.
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
So time passes, and a much more political rather than literary reasoning intervenes, and from the day that [Albert] Camus wrote The Rebel, in 1955, there comes the rupture, and all, nearly all of the left wing intellectuals become hostile to him. Since he was already unfavourably viewed by the right-wing, he found himself entirely alone.
Catherine Camus
[Albert] Camus writes his acceptance speech for the Nobel Prize in thanks to his teacher.
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
[Albert Camus] is The First Man because he is poor, which has never been much to human beings.
Catherine Camus
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.
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.
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] 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
[Albert Camus] wasn't writing under the influence of the Nobel Prize. That was an external thing for the artist in him.
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
I think for an artist what is most important is to touch as many hearts as possible.
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
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
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 points out that we have a lot of things to pass through. Everything has to be accepted before it can be improved.
Catherine Camus
[Albert Camus] was completely intransigent, and that's not at all a neutrality. It's combat, it's a man who involved himself, committed himself.
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.
