In default of inexhaustible happiness, eternal suffering would at least give us a destiny. But we do not even have that consolation, and our worst agonies come to an end one day.

Albert Camus 1179 quotes

As soon as one does not kill oneself, one must keep silent about life.

Albert Camus 1179 quotes

Morality, when formal, devours.

Albert Camus 1179 quotes

To those who despair of everyt...

To those who despair of everything reason cannot provide a faith, but only passion, and in this case it must be the same passion that lay at the root of the despair, namely humiliation and hatred.

Albert Camus 1179 quotes

The only conception of freedom...

The only conception of freedom I can have is that of the prisoner or the individual in the midst of the State. The only one I know is freedom of thought and action.

Albert Camus 1179 quotes

The Poor Man whom everyone spe...

The Poor Man whom everyone speaks of, the Poor Man whom everyone pities, one of the repulsive Poor from whom charitable souls keep their distance, he has still said nothing. Or, rather, he has spoken through the voice of Victor Hugo, Zola, Richepin. At least, they said so. And these shameful impostures fed their authors. Cruel irony, the Poor Man tormented with hunger feeds those who plead his case.

Albert Camus 1179 quotes

All systems of morality are ba...

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

Absolute freedom mocks at justice. Absolute justice denies freedom.

Albert Camus 1179 quotes

There may be responsible persons, but there are no guilty ones.

Albert Camus 1179 quotes

Does the end justify the means...

Does the end justify the means? That is possible. But what will justify the end? To that question, which historical thought leaves pending, rebellion replies: the means.

Albert Camus 1179 quotes

We can't do without dominating others or being served.... The essential thing, in sum, is being able to get angry without the other person being able to answer back.

Albert Camus 1179 quotes

And often he who has chosen the fate of the artist because he felt himself to be different soon realizes that he can maintain neither his art nor his difference unless he admits that he is like the others. The artist forges himself to the others, midway between the beauty he cannot do without and the community he cannot tear himself away from.

Albert Camus 1179 quotes

If the descent is thus sometimes performed in sorrow, it can also take place in joy.

Albert Camus 1179 quotes

There are crimes of passion and crimes of logic. The boundary between them is not clearly defined.

Albert Camus 1179 quotes

It is the job of thinking people not to be on the side of the executioners.

Albert Camus 1179 quotes

If absolute truth belongs to anyone in this world, it certainly does not belong to the man or party that claims to possess it.

Albert Camus 1179 quotes

Beauty, no doubt, does not make revolutions. But a day will come when revolutions will have need of beauty.

Albert Camus 1179 quotes

The purpose of a writer is to keep civilization from destroying itself.

Albert Camus 1179 quotes

To live is to hurt others, and through others, to hurt oneself. Cruel earth! How can we manage not to touch anything? To find what ultimate exile?

Albert Camus 1179 quotes

A liking for truth at any cost...

A liking for truth at any cost is a passion that spares nothing and that nothing resists. It's a vice, at times a comfort, or a selfishness.
