Albert Camus Quotes

In art, rebellion is consummated and perpetuated in the act of real creation, not in criticism or commentary Picture Quote #1

Believe me, the hardest thing for a man to give up is that which he really doesn’t want, after all Picture Quote #1

What is a rebel? A man who says no: but whose refusal does not imply a renunciation Picture Quote #1

The artist forges himself to the others, midway between the beauty he cannot do without and the community he cannot tear himself away from. That is why true artists scorn nothing: they are obliged to understand rather than to judge Picture Quote #1

Every artist preserves deep within him a single source from which, throughout his lifetime, he draws what he is, and what he says. When the source dries up, the work withers and crumbles Picture Quote #1

And often he who has chosen the fate of the artist because he felt himself to be different soon realizes that he can maintain neither his art nor his difference unless he admits that he is like the others. The artist forges himself to the others, midway between the beauty he cannot do without and the community he cannot tear himself away from Picture Quote #1

Yes, I know what passion would fill me with all its power. Before, I was too young. I got in the way. Now I know that acting and loving and suffering is living, of course, but it’s only living insofar as you can be transparent and accept your fate, like the unique reflection of a rainbow of joys and passions which is the same for everyone Picture Quote #1

When I was young, I expected from people more than they could give: neverending friendship and constant excitement. Now I expect less than they can actually can give: to stay close silently. And their feelings, friendship, noble deeds always seem like a miracle to me: a true grace Picture Quote #1

Politics, and the fate of mankind, are shaped by men without ideals and without greatness Picture Quote #1

In the depth of winter I finally learned that there was in me an invincible summer Picture Quote #1

Man wants to live, but it is useless to hope that this desire will dictate all his actions Picture Quote #1

As a remedy to life in society I would suggest the big city. Nowadays, it is the only desert within our means Picture Quote #1

The evil that is in the world almost always comes of ignorance, and good intentions may do as much harm as malevolence if they lack understanding Picture Quote #1

Somebody has to have the last word. If not, every argument could be opposed by another and we’d never be done with it Picture Quote #1

When one has extensively pondered about men, as a career or as a vocation, one sometimes feels nostalgic for primates. At least they do not have ulterior motives Picture Quote #1

I’d buy myself a cabin on the beach, I’d put some glue in my navel, and I’d stick a flag in there. Then I’d wait to see which way the wind was blowing Picture Quote #1

Men are never convinced of your reasons, of your sincerity, of the seriousness of your sufferings, except by your death. So long as you are alive, your case is doubtful; you have a right only to their skepticism Picture Quote #1

For who would dare to assert that eternal happiness can compensate for a single moment’s human suffering Picture Quote #1

A symbol always transcends the one who makes use of it and makes him say in reality more than he is aware of expressing Picture Quote #1

A person I knew used to divide human beings into three categories: those who prefer to have nothing to hide rather than being obliged to lie, those who prefer lying to having nothing to hide, and finally those who like both lying and the hidden Picture Quote #1

This world, such as it is, is not tolerable. Therefore I need the moon, or happiness, or immortality, I need something which is perhaps demented, but which is not of this world Picture Quote #1
