I am too far away from what I love and my distance is without remedy.

Albert Camus 1179 quotes

Being is good, but getting ric...

Being is good, but getting rich is better.... If the gods had only the riches of men's adoration, they would be as poor as poor Caligula.

Albert Camus 1179 quotes

... unhappiness is like marria...

... unhappiness is like marriage. We believe we chose it, but then it is choosing us. That is how it is, we can do nothing about it.

Albert Camus 1179 quotes

Something must happen; that is...

Something must happen; that is the reason for most human relationships. Something must happen; even servitude in love, in war, ordeath.

Albert Camus 1179 quotes

The world is unimportant and w...

The world is unimportant and whoever recognizes this conquers his liberty.

Albert Camus 1179 quotes

I always found misogyny vulgar...

I always found misogyny vulgar and stupid, and I found almost all the women I have known to be my betters. However, placing them so high, I used them more often than I served them. How does one make sense of this?

Albert Camus 1179 quotes

You know, [women] do not reall...

You know, [women] do not really condemn any weakness: rather, they try to humiliate or disarm our strengths. That is why women arethe reward, not of the warrior, but of the criminal.

Albert Camus 1179 quotes

Ah! my friend, for whomever is...

Ah! my friend, for whomever is alone, without a god and without a master, the weight of time is terrible. One must then choose a master, God being out of style.

Albert Camus 1179 quotes

Knowing what [Christ] knew , k...

Knowing what [Christ] knew , knowing all about mankind--ah! who would have thought that the crime is not so much to make others die, but to die oneself--confronted day and night with his innocent crime, it became too difficult to go on. It was better to get it over with, to not defend himself, to die, in order not to be the only one to have survived, and to go elsewhere, where, perhaps, he would be supported.

Albert Camus 1179 quotes

God is not necessary to create...

God is not necessary to create culpability, or to punish. Our fellow men are enough for that, helped by ourselves.

Albert Camus 1179 quotes

What is a firm hand to me, of ...

What is a firm hand to me, of what use to me is this astonishing power if I cannot change the order of things, if I cannot make the sun set in the east, that suffering diminish and that beings no longer die?

Albert Camus 1179 quotes

Men cry because things are not...

Men cry because things are not what they ought to be.

Albert Camus 1179 quotes

Most men are like me. They can...

Most men are like me. They cannot live in a universe where the most bizarre thought can in one second enter into the realm of reality--where, most often, it does enter, like a knife in a heart.

Albert Camus 1179 quotes

What is human in me is not wha...

What is human in me is not what is best in me. What is human in me is that I desire, and to obtain what I desire, I believe I would crush anything that stood in my way.

Albert Camus 1179 quotes

For a man who loves power, com...

For a man who loves power, competition from the gods is annoying. I have done away with that. I have proven to these illusory godsthat a man, if he has the will, can practice, without any apprenticeship, their ridiculous trade.

Albert Camus 1179 quotes

Powerful, yes, that is the wor...

Powerful, yes, that is the word that I constantly rolled on my tongue, I dreamed of absolute power, the kind that forces others tokneel, that forces the enemy to capitulate, finally converting him, and the more the enemy is blind, cruel, sure of himself, buried in his conviction, the more his admission proclaims the royalty of he who has brought on his defeat.

Albert Camus 1179 quotes

The mistake that men make is t...

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

I was always able to understan...

I was always able to understand my friend who decided to quit smoking and who, through an effort of will, succeeded in doing so. One morning, he opened the newspaper, read that the first H- bomb had exploded, found out about the bomb's admirable effects and went straight to the tobacconist's.

Albert Camus 1179 quotes

... habit starts at the second...

... habit starts at the second crime. At the first one, something is ending.

Albert Camus 1179 quotes

If pimps and thieves everywher...

If pimps and thieves everywhere were always punished, honest people would all believe themselves always to be innocent.
