It is natural to give a clear view of the world after accepting the idea that it must be clear.

Albert Camus 1179 quotes

Paneloux is a man of learning...

Paneloux is a man of learning, a scholar. He hasn't come in contact with death; that's why he can speak with such assurance of the truth-with a capital T. But every country priest who visits his parishioners and has heard a man gasping for breath on his deathbed thinks as I do. He'd try to relieve human suffering before trying to point out its goodness.

Albert Camus 1179 quotes

We must stitch up what has be...

We must stitch up what has been torn apart, render justice imaginable in the world which is so obviously unjust, make happiness meaningful for nations poisoned by the misery of this century. Naturally, it is a superhuman task. But tasks are called superhuman when men take a long time to complete them, that is all.

I hope the dogs don't bark tonight. I always think it's mine

I conceived at least one great love in my life, of which I was always the object.

Albert Camus 1179 quotes

The rebel can never find peac...

The rebel can never find peace. He knows what is good and, despite himself, does evil. The value which supports him is never given to him once and for all - he must fight to uphold it, unceasingly.

Albert Camus 1179 quotes

The current motto for all of ...

The current motto for all of us can only be this: without giving up anything on the plane of justice, yield nothing on the plane of freedom.

Albert Camus 1179 quotes

What will be left of the powe...

What will be left of the power of example if it is proved that capital punishment has another power, and a very real one, which degrades men to the point of shame, madness, and murder?

Albert Camus 1179 quotes

The spirit of rebellion can o...

The spirit of rebellion can only exist in a society where a theoretical equality conceals great factual inequalities. The problem of rebellion, therefore, has no meaning except within our own Western society.

Albert Camus 1179 quotes

What, in fact, is a novel but...

What, in fact, is a novel but a universe in which action is endowed with form, where final words are pronounced, where people possess one another completely, and where life assumes the aspect of destiny?

Albert Camus 1179 quotes

The revolutionary government ...

The revolutionary government was required to become the government of the war.

Albert Camus 1179 quotes

A writer cannot put himself today in service of those who make history; he is at the service of those who suffer it.

Albert Camus 1179 quotes

By giving too much importance...

By giving too much importance to fine actions one may end by paying an indirect but powerful tribute to evil, because in so doing one implies that such fine actions are only valuable because they are rare, and that malice or indifference are far more common motives in the actions of men.

Albert Camus 1179 quotes

In truth, I was so good at be...

In truth, I was so good at being a man, with such plenitude and simplicity, that I thought I was something of a superman.

Albert Camus 1179 quotes

Betrayal answers betrayal, th...

Betrayal answers betrayal, the mask of love is answered by the disappearance of love.

Albert Camus 1179 quotes

In a universe suddenly divest...

In a universe suddenly divested of illusion and lights, man feels an alien, a stranger. His exile is without remedy since he is deprived of the memory of a lost home or the hope of a promised land.

Albert Camus 1179 quotes

No doubt our love was still t...

No doubt our love was still there, but quite simply it was unusable, heavy to carry, inert inside of us, sterile as crime or condemnation. It was no longer anything except a patience with no future and a stubborn wait.

Albert Camus 1179 quotes

All that remains is a fate wh...

All that remains is a fate whose outcome alone is fatal. Outside of that single fatality of death, everything, joy or happiness, is liberty. A world remains of which man is the sole master. What bound him was the illusion of another world. The outcome of his thought, ceasing to be renunciatory, flowers in images. It frolics---in myths, to be sure, but myths with no other depth than that of human suffering and, like it, inexhaustible. Not the divine fable that amuses and blinds, but the terrestrial face, gesture, and drama in which are summed up a difficult wisdom and an ephemeral passion.

Albert Camus 1179 quotes

And for all his life it would...

And for all his life it would be kindness and love that made him cry, never pain or persecution, which on the contrary only reinforced his spirit and his resolution.

Albert Camus 1179 quotes

When the throne of God is ove...

When the throne of God is overturned, the rebel realizes that it is now his own responsibility to create the justice, order, and unity that he sought in vain within his own condition, and in this way to justify the fall of God. Then begins the desperate effort to create, at the price of crime and murder if necessary, the dominion of man.
