After all, every murderer when he kills runs the risk of the most dreadful of deaths, whereas those who kill him risk nothing except promotion.

Albert Camus 1179 quotes

The desire for possession is ...

The desire for possession is insatiable, to such a point that it can survive even love itself. To love, therefore, is to sterilize the person one loves.

Albert Camus 1179 quotes

How can sincerity be a condition of friendship? A taste for truth at any cost is a passion which spares nothing.

Albert Camus 1179 quotes

Every time somebody speaks of...

Every time somebody speaks of my honesty, there is someone who quivers inside me.

Albert Camus 1179 quotes

Methods of thought which clai...

Methods of thought which claim to give the lead to our world in the name of revolution have become, in reality, ideologies of consent and not of rebellion.

Albert Camus 1179 quotes

Only a philosophy of eternity, in the world today, could justify non-violence.

Albert Camus 1179 quotes

What the world requires of th...

What the world requires of the Christians is that they should continue to be Christians.

Albert Camus 1179 quotes

To assert in any case that a ...

To assert in any case that a man must be absolutely cut off from society because he is absolutely evil amounts to saying that society is absolutely good, and no-one in his right mind will believe this today.

Albert Camus 1179 quotes

Martyrs, my friend, have to c...

Martyrs, my friend, have to choose between being forgotten, mocked or used. As for being understood - never.

Albert Camus 1179 quotes

The role of the intellectual ...

The role of the intellectual cannot be to excuse the violence of one side and condemn that of the other.

Albert Camus 1179 quotes

To cut short the question of ...

To cut short the 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

For centuries the death penal...

For centuries the death penalty, often accompanied by barbarous refinements, has been trying to hold crime in check; yet crime persists. Why? Because the instincts that are warring in man are not, as the law claims, constant forces in a state of equilibrium.

Albert Camus 1179 quotes

Every man needs slaves like h...

Every man needs slaves like he needs clean air. To rule is to breathe, is it not? And even the most disenfranchised get to breathe. The lowest on the social scale have their spouses or their children.

Albert Camus 1179 quotes

Working conditions for me hav...

Working conditions for me have always been those of the monastic life: solitude and frugality. Except for frugality, they are contrary to my nature, so much so that work is a violence I do to myself.

Albert Camus 1179 quotes

Men are convinced of your arg...

Men are convinced of your arguments, your sincerity, and the seriousness of your efforts only by your death.

Albert Camus 1179 quotes

Man is an idea, and a precious small idea once he turns his back on love.

Albert Camus 1179 quotes

It is normal to give away a little of one's life in order not to lose it all.

Albert Camus 1179 quotes

I have never been able to renounce the light, the pleasure of being, and the freedom in which I grew up.

Albert Camus 1179 quotes

Judging whether life is or is...

Judging whether life is or is not worth living amounts to answering the fundamental question of philosophy.

Albert Camus 1179 quotes

Against eternal injustice, man must assert justice, and to protest against the universe of grief, he must create happiness.
