No, Father, I've a very different idea of love. And until my dying day I shall refuse to love a scheme of things in which children are put to torture.

Albert Camus 1179 quotes

And real nobility (that of th...

And real nobility (that of the heart) is based on scorn, courage, and profound indifference.

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

he's incapable of suffering for a long time, or being happy for a long time. Which means that he's incapable of anything really worth while.

Albert Camus 1179 quotes

A stranger to myself and to t...

A stranger to myself and to the world, armed solely with a thought that negates itself as soon as it asserts, what is this condition in which I can have peace only by refusing to know and to live, in which the appetite for conquest bumps into walls that defy its assaults?

Albert Camus 1179 quotes

Psychology is action, not thi...

Psychology is action, not thinking about oneself. We continue to shape our personality all our life. To know oneself, one should assert oneself.

Albert Camus 1179 quotes

I shall not, as far as I am c...

I shall not, as far as I am concerned, try to pass myself off as a Christian in your presence. I share with you the same revulsion from evil. But I do not share your hope, and I continue to struggle against this universe in which children suffer and die.

Albert Camus 1179 quotes

The workman of today works every day in his life at the same tasks, and this fate is no less absurd. But it is tragic only at the rare moments when it becomes conscious.

Albert Camus 1179 quotes

Without work all life goes rotten.

Albert Camus 1179 quotes

Big tears of frustration and ...

Big tears of frustration and exhaustion were streaming down his cheeks. But because of all the wrinkles, they weren't dripping off. They spread out and ran together again, leaving a watery film over his ruined face.

Albert Camus 1179 quotes

The truth is that nothing is less sensational than pestilence, and by reason of their very duration great misfortunes are monotonous.

Albert Camus 1179 quotes

In every rebellion is to be f...

In every rebellion is to be found the metaphysical demand for unity, the impossibility of capturing it, and the construction of a substitute universe.

Albert Camus 1179 quotes

For the first time in a long ...

For the first time in a long time I thought about Maman. I felt as if I understood why at the end of her life she had taken a 'fianc?,' why she had played at beginning again. Even there, in that home where lives were fading out, evening was a kind of wistful respite. So close to death, Maman must have felt free then and ready to live it all again. Nobody, nobody had the right to cry over her. And I felt ready to live it all again too.

Albert Camus 1179 quotes

How had I not seen that there...

How had I not seen that there was nothing more important than an execution, and that when you come right down to it, it was the only thing a man could truly be interested in?

Albert Camus 1179 quotes

I longed to be forgotten in order to be able to complain to myself.

Albert Camus 1179 quotes

The only way out [of international dictatorship] is to place international law above governments, which means [...] that there must be a parliament for making it, and that parliament must be constituted by means of worldwide elections in which all nations will take part.

Albert Camus 1179 quotes

Maman used to say that you can always find something to be happy about. In my prison, when the sky turned red and a new day slipped into my cell, I found out that she was right.

Albert Camus 1179 quotes

There is but one freedom, To ...

There is but one freedom, To put oneself right with death. After that everything is possible. I cannot force you to believe in God. Believing in God amounts to coming to terms with death. When you have accepted death, the problem of God will be solved, and not the reverse.

Albert Camus 1179 quotes

A r?gime [Nazism] which invented a biological foreign policy was obviously acting against its own best interests. But at least it obeyed its own particular logic.

Albert Camus 1179 quotes

The absurd is a shadow cast over everything we do and even if we try to live life as if it has meaning as if there are reasons for doing things the absurd will linger in the back of our minds as a nagging doubt that perhaps there is no point.
