God put self-pity by the side...

God put self-pity by the side of despair like the cure by the side of the disease.

Albert Camus 1179 quotes

I do not want to believe that...

I do not want to believe that death is the gateway to another life. For me, it is a closed door. I do not say it is a step we must all take, but that it is a horrible and dirty adventure.

Albert Camus 1179 quotes

Great feelings take with them...

Great feelings take with them their own universe, splendid or abject. They light up with their passion an exclusive world in which they recognize their climate.

Albert Camus 1179 quotes

Some other memories of the fu...

Some other memories of the funeral have stuck in my mind. The old boy’s face, for instance, when he caught up with us for the last time, just outside the village. His eyes were streaming with tears, of exhaustion or distress, or both together. But because of the wrinkles they couldn’t flow down. They spread out, crisscrossed, and formed a smooth gloss on the old, worn face.

Albert Camus 1179 quotes

Can one be a saint if God doe...

Can one be a saint if God does not exist? That is the only concrete problem I know of today.

Albert Camus 1179 quotes

What must be remembered in an...

What must be remembered in any case is that secret complicity that joins the logical and the everyday to the tragic.

Albert Camus 1179 quotes

I continue to believe that th...

I continue to believe that this world has no ultimate meaning. But I know that something in it has a meaning and that is man, because he is the only creature to insist on having one

Albert Camus 1179 quotes

Realism should only be the me...

Realism should only be the means of expression of religious genius... or, at the other extreme, the artistic expressions of monkeys which are quite satisfied with mere imitation. In fact, art is never realistic though sometimes it is tempted to be. To be really realistic a description would have to be endless.

Albert Camus 1179 quotes

Politics and the fate of mank...

Politics and the fate of mankind are formed by men without ideals and without greatness. Those who have greatness within them do not go in for politics.

One plays at being immortal and after a few weeks one doesn't even know whether or not one can hang on till the next day.

Albert Camus 1179 quotes

No human being, even the most...

No human being, even the most passionately loved and passionately loving, is ever in our possession.

Albert Camus 1179 quotes

Likewise, every time somebody...

Likewise, every time somebody interjects to speak of my honesty there is someone who quivers inside me.

Albert Camus 1179 quotes

Some cry: 'Love me!!' Others:...

Some cry: 'Love me!!' Others: 'Don't love me!!' But a certain genus, the worst and most unhappy, cries: 'Don't love me and be faithful to me!!'

Albert Camus 1179 quotes

The most eloquent eulogy of capitalism was made by its greatest enemy. Marx is only anti-capitalist in so far as capitalism is out of date.

Albert Camus 1179 quotes

I had been right I was still ...

I had been right I was still right I was always right. I had lived my life one way and I could just as well lived it another. I had done this and I hadn t done that. I hadn t done this thing and I had done another. And so?

Albert Camus 1179 quotes

... here, where the gaze is s...

... here, where the gaze is stopped everywhere, the whole earth is designed so that the face turns upward and the gaze implores. Oh! I hate this world where we are reduced to God.

Albert Camus 1179 quotes

To cut short this question of...

To cut short this question of the law of retaliation, we must note that even in its primitive form it can operate only between two individuals of whom one is absolutely innocent and the other absolutely guilty. The victim, to be sure, is innocent. But can the society that is supposed to represent the victim lay claim to innocence?

Albert Camus 1179 quotes

Metaphysical rebellion is a c...

Metaphysical rebellion is a claim, motivated by the concept of a complete unity, against the suffering of life and death and a protest against the human condition both for its incompleteness, thanks to death, and its wastefulness, thanks to evil.

Albert Camus 1179 quotes

Over there, in Europe, all wa...

Over there, in Europe, all was shame and anger. Here it was exile or solitude, among these languid and agitated madmen who danced in order to die.

Albert Camus 1179 quotes

The kingdom of heaven will, i...

The kingdom of heaven will, in fact, appear on earth , but it will be ruled over by men a mere handful to begin with, who will be the Cassars, because they were the first to understand and later, with time, by all men.
