But when a man has had only four hours' sleep he isn't sentimental. He sees things as they are: that is to say, he sees them in the garish light of justice; hideous, witless justice.

Albert Camus 1179 quotes

Where would his torture be, in...

Where would his torture be, indeed, if at every step the hope of succeeding upheld him?

We have to live and let live in order to create what we are.

Ah cher ami, how poor in invention men are! They are They always think one commits suicide for a reason. But it's quite possible to commit suicide for two reasons. No, that never occurs to them. So what's the good of dying intentionally, of sacrificing yourself to the idea you want people to have of you? Once you are dead, they will take advantage of it to attribute idiotic or vulgar motives to your action. Martyrs, cher ami, must choose between being forgotten, mocked, or made use of. As for being understood--never!

Today we are always as ready to judge as we are to fornicate.

I hadn't understood how days could be both long and short at the same time: long to live through, maybe, but so drawn out that they ended up flowing into one another. They lost their names. Only 'yesterday' and 'tomorrow' still had any meaning for me.

Albert Camus 1179 quotes

Thus I progressed on the surfa...

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

The only deep emotion I occasi...

The only deep emotion I occasionally felt in these affairs was gratitude, when all was going well and I was left, not only peace, but freedom to come and go--never kinder and gayer with one woman than when I had just left another's bed, as if I extended to all others the debt I had just contracted toward one of them.

Albert Camus 1179 quotes

Believe me, for certain men at...

Believe me, for certain men at least, not taking what one doesn't desire is the hardest thing in the world.

Albert Camus 1179 quotes

Men are never convinced of you...

Men are never convinced of your reasons, of your sincerity, of the seriousness of your sufferings, except by your death. So long as you are alive, your case is doubtful; you have a right only to their skepticism.

Mostly, I could tell, I made him feel uncomfortable. He didn't understand me, and he was sort of holding it against me. I felt the urge to reassure him that I was like everybody else, just like everybody else. But really there wasn't much point, and I gave up the idea out of laziness.

Albert Camus 1179 quotes

I used to advertise my loyalty and I don't believe there is a single person I loved that I didn't eventually betray.

Albert Camus 1179 quotes

That is love, to give away everything, to sacrifice everything, without the slightest desire to get anything in return.3

Albert Camus 1179 quotes

Just as all thought, and primarily that of non-signification, signifies something, so there is no art that has no signification.

May heaven protect us, cher monsieur, from being set on a pedestal by our friends!!!

The realization that life is absurd cannot be an end, but only a beginning.

There was the same dazzling red glare. The sea gasped for air with each shallow, stifled wave that broke on the sand. ...with every blade of light that flashed off the sand, from a bleached shell or a peice of broken glass, my jaws tightened. I walked for a long time.

Man cannot do without beauty, and this is what our era pretends to want to disregard.

We come into the world laden with the weight of an infinite necessity.

After another moment's silence she mumbled that I was peculiar, that that was probably why she loved me but that one day I might disgust her for the very same reason.
