By definition, a government has no conscience. Sometimes it has a policy, but nothing more.

Albert Camus 1179 quotes

Some people talk in their sleep. Lecturers talk while other people sleep.

Albert Camus 1179 quotes

Basically, at the very bottom...

Basically, at the very bottom of life, which seduces us all, there is only absurdity, and more absurdity. And maybe that's what gives us our joy for living, because the only thing that can defeat absurdity is lucidity.

A guilty conscience needs to confess. A work of art is a confession.

Albert Camus 1179 quotes

Without freedom, no art; art ...

Without freedom, no art; art lives only on the restraints it imposes on itself, and dies of all others.

Albert Camus 1179 quotes

Blessed are the hearts that can bend; they shall never be broken.

Charm is a way of getting the answer 'Yes' without asking a clear question.

Albert Camus 1179 quotes

Truth, like light, blinds. Falsehood, on the contrary, is a beautiful twilight that enhances every object.

Albert Camus 1179 quotes

We used to wonder where war lived, what it was that made it so vile. And now we realize that we know where it lives... inside ourselves.

Albert Camus 1179 quotes

I would rather live my life as if there is a God and die to find out there isn't, than live as if there isn't and to die to find out that there is.

Albert Camus 1179 quotes

He who despairs of the human condition is a coward, but he who has hope for it is a fool.

Albert Camus 1179 quotes

Every act of rebellion expresses a nostalgia for innocence and an appeal to the essence of being.

Autumn is a second spring when every leaf is a flower.

Albert Camus 1179 quotes

Each generation doubtless feels called upon to reform the world. Mine knows that it will not reform it, but its task is perhaps even greater. It consists in preventing the world from destroying itself.

Albert Camus 1179 quotes

You are forgiven for your happiness and your successes only if you generously consent to share them.

Albert Camus 1179 quotes

The sense of doing good , the ...

The sense of doing good , the satisfaction of being right, the joy of looking favorably upon oneself, dear sir, are powerful levers for keeping us upright and making us progress. On the other hand, if men are deprived of that feeling, they are changed into rabid dogs.

... it is true that I do not respect [human life] more than I respect my own life. And if it is easy for me to kill, that is because it is difficult for me to die.

Albert Camus 1179 quotes

... 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.

Once one's up against it, the precise manner of one's death has obviously small importance.

Albert Camus 1179 quotes

All that remains is a fate who...

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 dr
