Albert Camus

I am not made for politics because I am incapable of wanting or accepting the death of the adversary.

Albert Camus

I do not want to believe that death is the gateway to another life. For me, it is a closed door. I do not say it is a step we must all take, but that it is a horrible and dirty adventure.

Albert Camus

I do not want to found anything on the incomprehensible. I want to know whether I can live with what I know and with that alone.

Albert Camus

I don’t want to be a genius – I have enough problems just trying to be a man.

Albert Camus

I draw from the absurd three consequences: my revolt, my liberty, my passion.

Albert Camus

I grew up with the sea, and poverty for me was sumptuous; then I lost the sea and found all luxuries gray and poverty unbearable.

Albert Camus

I have a good, hearty laugh and an energetic handshake, and those are trump cards.

Albert Camus

I have a very old and very faithful attachment for dogs. I like them because they always forgive.

Albert Camus

I have always felt I lived on the high seas, threatened, at the heart of a royal happiness.

Albert Camus

I have always thought it would be easier to redeem a man steeped in vice and crime than a greedy, narrow-minded, pitiless merchant.
