The world expects of Christia...

The world expects of Christians that they will raise their voices so loudly and clearly and so formulate their protest that not even the simplest man can have the slightest doubt about what they are saying. Further, the world expects of Christians that they will eschew all fuzzy abstractions and plant themselves squarely in front of the bloody face of history. We stand in need of folk who have determined to speak directly and unmistakably and come what may, to stand by what they have said.

Albert Camus 1179 quotes

What I believe to be true I m...

What I believe to be true I must therefore preserve. What seems to me so obvious, even against me, I must support.

Albert Camus 1179 quotes

These are facts the heart can...

These are facts the heart can feel; yet they call for careful study before they become clear to the intellect.

Albert Camus 1179 quotes

What, then, is that incalcula...

What, then, is that incalculable feeling that deprives the mind of the sleep necessary to life? A world that can be explained even with bad reasons is a familiar world. But, on the other hand, in a universe suddenly divested of illusions 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. This divorce between man and his life, the actor and his setting, is properly the feeling of absurdity.

Albert Camus 1179 quotes

All systems of morality are b...

All systems of morality are based on the idea that an action has consequences that legitimize or cancel it. A mind imbued with the absurd merely judges that those consequences must be considered calmly.

Albert Camus 1179 quotes

None of the evils which total...

None of the evils which totalitarianism ... claims to remedy is worse than totalitarianism itself.

Albert Camus 1179 quotes

What made me run away was dou...

What made me run away was doubtless not so much the fear of settling down, but of settling down permanently in something ugly.

Albert Camus 1179 quotes

In that night alive with sign...

In that night alive with signs and stars, I opened myself to the gentle indifference of the world. Finding it so much like myself--like a brother, really--I felt that I had been happy and that I was happy again.

Albert Camus 1179 quotes

I realized then that a man who had lived only one day could easily live for a hundred years in prison. He would have enough memories to keep him from being bored

the one who doesnt play, doesnt win anything, but he actually looses somehting, {playing}

Albert Camus 1179 quotes

The struggle to reach the top...

The struggle to reach the top is itself enough to fulfill the heart of man. One must believe that Sisyphus is happy.

Albert Camus 1179 quotes

But do you know why we are al...

But do you know why we are always more just and generous toward the dead? The reason is simple. With them there is no obligation. They leave us free and we can take our time, fit the testimonial between a cocktail party and a nice little mistress, in our spare time, in short.

Albert Camus 1179 quotes

But the world itself has no r...

But the world itself has no reason, and I can say so, I who have experienced it all, from the creation to the destruction.

Albert Camus 1179 quotes

A single sentence will suffic...

A single sentence will suffice for modern man. He fornicated and read the papers. After that vigorous definition, the subject will be, if I may say so, exhausted.

Albert Camus 1179 quotes

The mistake that men make is ...

The mistake that men make is that they do not believe in theater. Otherwise, they would know that every man is allowed to play thecelestial tragedies and to become god. All he has to do is harden his heart.

Albert Camus 1179 quotes

For ever, I shall be a strang...

For ever, I shall be a stranger to myself.

Albert Camus 1179 quotes

Everybody knows life isn't worth living.

Albert Camus 1179 quotes

Thus I progressed on the surf...

Thus I progressed on the surface of life, in the realm of words as it were, never in reality. All those books barely read, those friends barely loved, those cities barely visited, those women barely possessed! I went through the gestures out of boredom or absent-mindedness. Then came human beings; they wanted to cling, but there was nothing to cling to, and that was unfortunate--for them. As for me, I forgot. I never remembered anything but myself.

Albert Camus 1179 quotes

But,' I reminded myself, 'it'...

But,' I reminded myself, 'it's common knowledge that life isn't worth living, anyhow.

Albert Camus 1179 quotes

I felt the urge to reassure him that I was like everybody else, just like everybody else.
