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

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

The truth is that nothing is ...

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

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.

Without work all life goes rotten.

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

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

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

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

People have played on words a...

People have played on words and pretended to believe that refusing to grant a meaning to life necessarily leads to declaring that it is not worth living. In truth, there is no necessary common measure between these two judgments.

Albert Camus 1179 quotes

I explained to him, however, ...

I explained to him, however, that my nature was such that my physical needs often got in the way of my feelings.

Albert Camus 1179 quotes

The truth is that every intel...

The truth is that every intelligent man, as you know, dreams of being a gangster and of ruling over society by force alone. As it is not so easy as the detective novels might lead one to believe, one generally relies on politics and joins the cruelest party.What does it matter, after all, if by humiliating one's mind one succeeds in dominating every one? I discovered in myself sweet dreams of oppression.

Albert Camus 1179 quotes

The principle can be established that for a man who does not cheat what he believes to be true must determine his actions.

Albert Camus 1179 quotes

In our society, any man who d...

In our society, any man who doesn't cry at his mother's funeral is liable to be condemned to death.

Albert Camus 1179 quotes

My dear friend, we mustn't gi...

My dear friend, we mustn't give them even the slightest excuse to judge us! Otherwise, we end up in pieces.

Albert Camus 1179 quotes

The world is unimportant and ...

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

Albert Camus 1179 quotes

In every guilty man, there is...

In every guilty man, there is some innocence. This makes every absolute condemnation revolting.

Albert Camus 1179 quotes

And then came human beings; humans wanted to cling but there was nothing to cling to.

Albert Camus 1179 quotes

At one time or another all normal people have wished their loved ones were dead.

Albert Camus 1179 quotes

In fact, it comes to this: no...

In fact, it comes to this: nobody is capable of really thinking about anyone, even in the worst calamity. For really to think about someone means thinking about that person every minute of the day, without letting one’s thoughts be diverted by anything- by meals, by a fly that settles on one’s cheek, by household duties, or by a sudden itch somewhere. But there are always flies and itches. That’s why life is difficult to live.
