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.

More quotes by 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
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
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] started thinking through sensation. He could never think with artefacts or with cultural models because there were none. So it's true to say that his morality was extremely 'lived', made from very concrete things. It never passed by means of abstractions . It's his own experience, his way of thinking.
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
[Albert] Camus writes his acceptance speech for the Nobel Prize in thanks to his teacher.
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
It's true that women appear very little in [Albert Camus] works. They have a very marginal place.
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
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
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
We must remember that [Albert] Camus wrote not even a third of what he had wished to.
Catherine Camus
I think for an artist what is most important is to touch as many hearts as possible.
Catherine Camus
I think [Albert] Camus felt very solitary. You can see it in all his books.
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
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
[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] is The First Man because he is poor, which has never been much to human beings.
Catherine Camus
[Albert Camus] was not an existentialist!
