Quotes

A person's life purpose is nothing more than to rediscover, through the detours of art or love or passionate work, those one or two images in the presence of which his heart first opened. Albert Camus
He had never loved anything except what was inevitable. The people fate had imposed on him, the world as it appeared to him, everything in his life he had not been able to avoid...For the rest, for everything he had to choose, he made himself love, which is not the same thing. No doubt he had known the feeling of wonderment, passion, and even moments of tenderness. But each moment had sent him on to other moments, each person to others, and he had loved nothing he had chosen, except what was... Albert Camus
The love of God is a hard love. It demands total self-surrender, disdain of our human personality. And yet it alone can reconcile us to suffering and the deaths of children, it alone can justify them, since we cannot understand them, and we can only make God's will ours. 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
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
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
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. Albert Camus
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. Albert Camus
Albert Camus quote: "Person describes himself throughout life. To know oneself..."
Person describes himself throughout life. To know oneself perfectly means to die. Albert Camus
Albert Camus quote: "We continue to shape our personality all our life. If we knew..."
We continue to shape our personality all our life. If we knew ourselves perfectly, we should die. Albert Camus
When you have once seen the glow of happiness on the face of a beloved person, you know that a man can have no vocation but to awaken that light on the faces surrounding him. In the depth of winter, I finally learned that within me there lay an invincible summer. Albert Camus
It was in Spain that [my generation] learned that one can be right and yet be beaten, that force can vanquish spirit, that there are times when courage is not its own recompense. It is this, doubtless, which explains why so many, the world over, feel the Spanish drama as a personal tragedy. Albert Camus
Albert Camus quote: "As the death of the writer exaggerates the role of his work,..."
As the death of the writer exaggerates the role of his work, the death of a person exaggerates the role of his effect on us. Albert Camus
True debauchery is liberating because it creates no obligations. In it you possess only yourself, hence it remains the favorite pastime of the great lovers of their own person. Albert Camus
Albert Camus quote: "You help far more when you depict a person favorably than..."
You help far more when you depict a person favorably than instruct its weaknesses. Albert Camus
