There is in me an anarchy and frightful disorder. Creating makes me die a thousand deaths, because it means making order, and my entire being rebels against order. But without it I would die, scattered to the winds.

Albert Camus 1179 quotes

Truth is mysterious, elusive, ...

Truth is mysterious, elusive, always to be conquered. Liberty is dangerous, as hard to live with as it is elating. We must march toward these two goals, painfully but resolutely, certain in advance of our failings on so long a road.

Albert Camus 1179 quotes

Working conditions for me have...

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

Purely historical thought is n...

Purely historical thought is nihilistic; it wholeheartedly accepts the evil of history.

Albert Camus 1179 quotes

Between history and the eternal I have chosen history because I like certainties. Of it, at least, I am certain, and how can I deny this force crushing me.

Albert Camus 1179 quotes

The realization that life is a...

The realization that life is absurd and cannot be an end, but only a beginning. This is a truth nearly all great minds have taken as their starting point. It is not this discovery that is interesting, but theconsequences and rules of action drawn from it.

Albert Camus 1179 quotes

There can be no true goodness,...

There can be no true goodness, nor true love, without the utmost clear-sightedness.

Albert Camus 1179 quotes

The opposite of an idealist is...

The opposite of an idealist is too often a man without love.

Albert Camus 1179 quotes

In order to understand the wor...

In order to understand the world, one has to turn away from it on occasion; in order to serve others better, one has to hold them at a distance for a time. But where can one find the solitude necessary to vigor, the deep breath in which the mind collects itself and courage gauges its strength? There remain big cities.

Albert Camus 1179 quotes

We spend our days in deliberat...

We spend our days in deliberating, and we end them without coming to any resolve.

Albert Camus 1179 quotes

From Paul to Stalin, the popes...

From Paul to Stalin, the popes who have chosen Caesar have prepared the way for Caesars who quickly learn to despise popes.

Albert Camus 1179 quotes

There is no more futile punishment than futile and hopeless labor.

Albert Camus 1179 quotes

Democracy is not the law of the majority but the protection of the minority.

To grow old is to pass from passion to compassion.

Albert Camus 1179 quotes

It's not the struggle that makes us artists, but Art that makes us struggle.

Albert Camus 1179 quotes

Whereas the Greeks gave to will the boundaries of reason, we have come to put the will's impulse in the very center of reason, which has, as a result, become deadly.

Albert Camus 1179 quotes

In order to exist, man must rebel.

Albert Camus 1179 quotes

Can one be a saint if God does...

Can one be a saint if God does not exist? That is the only concrete problem I know of today.

Albert Camus 1179 quotes

If it adapts itself to what the majority of our society wants, art will be a meaningless recreation.

Albert Camus 1179 quotes

All great deeds and all great ...

All great deeds and all great thoughts have a ridiculous beginning.
