Quotes by Albert Camus
- We always deceive ourselves twice about the people we love - first to their advantage, then to their disadvantage.
- We continue to shape our personality all our life. If we knew ourselves perfectly, we should die.
- 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.
- We turn toward God only to obtain the impossible.
- We used to wonder where war lived, what it was that made it so vile. And now we realize that we know where it lives... inside ourselves.
- When you have really exhausted an experience you always reverence and love it.
- 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.
- Without freedom, no art art lives only on the restraints it imposes on itself, and dies of all others.
- Without work, all life goes rotten. But when work is soulless, life stifles and dies.
