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.

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

How many crimes are permitted...

How many crimes are permitted simply because their authors could not endure being wrong.

Albert Camus 1179 quotes

Mostly, I could tell, I made ...

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

For me, physical love has alw...

For me, physical love has always been bound to an irresistible feeling of innocence and joy. Thus, I cannot love in tears but in exaltation.

Albert Camus 1179 quotes

I hadn't understood how days ...

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

What on earth prompted you to take a hand in this?" "I don't know. My… my code of morals, perhaps." "Your code of morals. What code, if I may ask?" "Comprehension.

Ce que je sais de la morale, c'est au football que je le dois. (I know of morality, it is football that I owe.)

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.

Albert Camus 1179 quotes

Maman used to say that you ca...

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 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.

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

You will always win if you make an effort, no matter how much. However, if you failed it means you were too lazy.

Albert Camus 1179 quotes

Those who love, friends and l...

Those who love, friends and lovers, know that love is not only a blinding flash, but also a long and painful struggle in the darkness for the realization of definitive recognition and reconciliation.

Albert Camus 1179 quotes

It was previously a question ...

It was previously a question of finding out whether or not life had to have a meaning to be lived. It now becomes clear on the contrary that it will be lived all the better if it has no meaning

Albert Camus 1179 quotes

It is better for the intellectual not to talk all the time. To begin with, it would exhaust him, and, above all, it would keep him from thinking. He must create if he can, first and foremost, especially if his creation does not side-step the problems of his time.

Albert Camus 1179 quotes

I like these people swarming ...

I like these people swarming on the sidewalks, wedged into a little space of houses and canals, hemmed in by fogs, cold lands, and the sea streaming like a wet wash. I like them, for they are double. They are here and elsewhere.

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

Death means nothing to men like me. It's the event that proves them right.
