Camus: "The only way to deal with an unfree world is to become so absolutely free that your very existence is an act of rebellion."
Camus: "You will never be happy if you continue to search for what happiness consists of. You will never live if you are looking for the meaning of life."
Camus: "Every act of rebellion expresses a nostalgia for innocence and an appeal to the essence of being."
Camus: "There is in me an anarchy and frightful disorder. Creating makes me die a thousand deaths, because it means making order, and my entire being rebels against order. But without it I would die, scattered to the winds."
Camus: "Men must live and create. Live to the point of tears."
Camus: "We get into the habit of living before acquiring the habit of thinking. In that race which daily hastens us towards death, the body maintains its irreparable lead."
Camus: "Virtue cannot separate itself from reality without becoming a principle of evil."
Camus: "There is in me an anarchy and frightful disorder. Creating makes me die a thousand deaths, because it means making order, and my entire being rebels against order. But without it I would die, scattered to the winds."
Camus: "I know of only one duty, and that is to love."
Camus: "In order to speak about all and to all, one has to speak of what all know and of the reality common to us all. The sea, rains, necessity, desire, the struggle against death... these are things that unite us all."
Camus: "Violence is both unavoidable and unjustifiable."
Camus: "The desire for possession is insatiable, to such a point that it can survive even love itself. To love, therefore, is to sterilize the person one loves."
Camus: "Against eternal injustice, man must assert justice, and to protest against the universe of grief, he must create happiness."
Camus: "Basically, at the very bottom of life, which seduces us all, there is only absurdity, and more absurdity. And maybe that's what gives us our joy for living, because the only thing that can defeat absurdity is lucidity."
Camus: "To be happy we must not be too concerned with others."
Camus: "Without culture, and the relative freedom it implies, society, even when perfect, is but a jungle. This is why any authentic creation is a gift to the future."
Camus: "Without work, all life goes rotten. But when work is soulless, life stifles and dies."
Camus: "The modern mind is in complete disarray. Knowledge has stretched itself to the point where neither the world nor our intelligence can find any foot-hold. It is a fact that we are suffering from nihilism."
Camus: "A man without ethics is a wild beast loosed upon this world."
Camus: "A man's work is nothing but this slow trek to rediscover, through the detours of art, those two or three great and simple images in whose presence his heart first opened."
Camus: "An intellectual is someone whose mind watches itself."
Camus: "For if there is a sin against life, it consists perhaps not so much in despairing of life as in hoping for another life and in eluding the implacable grandeur of this life."
Camus: "There is the good and the bad, the great and the low, the just and the unjust. I swear to you that all that will never change."
Camus: "Beauty is unbearable, drives us to despair, offering us for a minute the glimpse of an eternity that we should like to stretch out over the whole of time."
Camus: "There is no love of life without despair of life."
Camus: "The evil that is in the world almost always comes of ignorance, and good intentions may do as much harm as malevolence if they lack understanding."
Camus: "Nobody realizes that some people expend tremendous energy merely to be normal."
Camus: "All great deeds and all great thoughts have a ridiculous beginning. Great works are often born on a street corner or in a restaurant's revolving door."
Camus: "I would rather live my life as if there is a God and die to find out there isn't, than live as if there isn't and to die to find out that there is."
