I know that man is capable of great deeds. But if he isn't capable of great emotion, well, he leaves me cold.

Albert Camus 1179 quotes

People don't love each other ...

People don't love each other at our age, Marthe—they please each other, that's all. Later on, when you're old and impotent, you can love someone. At our age, you just think you do. That's all it is.

Albert Camus 1179 quotes

A person I knew used to divid...

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.

It is not humiliating to be unhappy. Physical suffering is sometimes humiliating, but the suffering of being cannot be, it is life.

Albert Camus 1179 quotes

Man stands face to face with ...

Man stands face to face with the irrational. He feels within him his longing for happiness and for reason. The absurd is born of this confrontation between the human need and the unreasonable silence of the world.

Albert Camus 1179 quotes

An intellectual? Yes. And nev...

An intellectual? Yes. And never deny it. An intellectual is someone whose mind watches itself. I like this, because I am happy to be both halves, the watcher and the watched. "Can they be brought together?" This is a practical question. We must get down to it. "I despise intelligence" really means: "I cannot bear my doubts.

Like great works, deep feelings always mean more than they are conscious of saying.

Albert Camus 1179 quotes

What is human in me is not wh...

What is human in me is not what is best in me. What is human in me is that I desire, and to obtain what I desire, I believe I would crush anything that stood in my way.

Albert Camus 1179 quotes

Freedom is not a reward or a ...

Freedom is not a reward or a decoration that you toast in champagne. On the contrary, it's hard graft and a long-distance run, all alone, very exhausting. Alone in a dreary room, alone in the dock before the judges, and alone to make up your mind, before yourself and before the judgement of others. At the end of every freedom there is a sentence, which is why freedom is too heavy to bear.

Albert Camus 1179 quotes

Truth, like light, is blindin...

Truth, like light, is blinding. Lies, on the other hand, are a beautiful dusk, which enhances the value of each object.

Albert Camus 1179 quotes

When the soul suffers too much, it develops a taste for misfortune.

Albert Camus 1179 quotes

Get scared. It will do you go...

Get scared. It will do you good. Smoke a bit, stare blankly at some ceilings, beat your head against some walls, refuse to see some people, paint and write. Get scared some more. Allow your little mind to do nothing but function. Stay inside, go out - I don't care what you'll do; but stay scared as hell. You will never be able to experience everything. So, please, do poetical justice to your soul and simply experience yourself.

Thoughts of suicide have got me through many a bad night.

Albert Camus 1179 quotes

It is a well-known fact that we always recognize our homeland at the moment we are about to lose it.

Albert Camus 1179 quotes

…there's no question of heroism in all this. It's a matter of common decency. That's an idea which may make some people smile, but the only means of fighting a plague is - common decency.

It takes time to live. Like any work of art, life needs to be thought about.

Albert Camus 1179 quotes

Nothing in the world is worth turning one's back on what one loves.

Albert Camus 1179 quotes

All I maintain is that on thi...

All I maintain is that on this earth there are pestilences and there are victims, and it's up to us, so far as possible, not to join forces with the pestilences. That may sound simple to the point of childishness; I can't judge if it's simple, but I know it's true.

Albert Camus 1179 quotes

For the first time, the first...

For the first time, the first, I laid my heart open to the benign indifference of the universe. To feel it so like myself, indeed so brotherly, made me realize that I'd been happy, and that I was happy still.

Albert Camus 1179 quotes

Every time I hear a political...

Every time I hear a political speech or I read those of our leaders, I am horrified at having, for years, heard nothing which sounded human. It is always the same words telling the same lies.
