He realized now that to be afraid of this death he was staring at with animal terror meant to be afraid of life. Fear of dying justified a limitless attachment to what is alive in man. And all those who had not made the gestures necessary to live their lives, all those who feared and exalted impotenc? they were afraid of death because of the sanction it gave to a life in which they had not been involved. They had not lived enough, never having lived at all. And death was a kind of gesture,... Albert Camus
Albert Camus quote: "I used to advertise my loyalty and I don't believe there is a..."
I used to advertise my loyalty and I don't believe there is a single person I loved that I didn't eventually betray. Albert Camus
Of course, true love is exceptional - two or three times a century, more or less. The rest of the time there is vanity or boredom. Albert Camus
Yes, I know what passion would fill me with all its power. Before, I was too young. I got in the way. Now I know that acting and loving and suffering is living, of course, but it’s only living insofar as you can be transparent and accept your fate, like the unique reflection of a rainbow of joys and passions which is the same for everyone. Albert Camus
It would be the most peaceful to love in silence, but there are consciousness and personality, so we have to speak. And then love becomes hell. Albert Camus
Albert Camus quote: "At one time or another all normal people have wished their..."
At one time or another all normal people have wished their loved ones were dead. Albert Camus
No doubt our love was still there, but quite simply it was unusable, heavy to carry, inert inside of us, sterile as crime or condemnation. It was no longer anything except a patience with no future and a stubborn wait. Albert Camus
There was a time when I didn’t at any minute have the slightest idea how I could reach the next one. Yes, one can wage war in this world, ape love, torture one’s fellow man, or merely say evil of one’s neighbour while knitting. But, in certain cases, carrying on, merely continuing, is superhuman. Albert Camus
Albert Camus quote: "We love people not because for good they did for us, but for..."
We love people not because for good they did for us, but for good we did for them. Albert Camus
Because,' Cormery went on, 'when I was very young, very foolish, and very much alone ... you paid attention to me and, without seeming to, you opened for me the door to everything I love in the world. Albert Camus
In normal times we are all aware, consciously or not, that there is no love which cannot be surpassed, yet we accept with a greater or lesser degree of equanimity that ours shall remain merely average. Albert Camus
A man wants to earn money in order to be happy, and his whole effort and the best of a life are devoted to the earning of that money. Happiness is forgotten; the means are taken for the end. Albert Camus
Well, personally, I've seen enough of people who die for an idea. I don't believe in heroism; I know it's easy and I've learned that it can be murderous. What interests me is living and dying for what one loves. Albert Camus
In normal times all of us know, whether consciously or not, that there is no love which can't be bettered; nevertheless, we reconcile ourselves more or less easily to the fact that ours has never risen above the average. Albert Camus
