Quotes by Albert Camus

“Always go too far, because that's where you'll find the truth”

“Do not be afraid of spending quality time by yourself. Find meaning or don't find meaning but "steal" some time and give it freely and exclusively to your own self. Opt for privacy and solitude.

“Yes, everything is simple. It's people who complicate things.”

“Life is a sum of all your choices". So, what are you doing today?”

“Don't walk behind me; I may not lead. Don't walk in front of me; I may not follow. Just walk beside me and be my friend.”

“Sometimes, carrying on, just carrying on, is the superhuman achievement.”

“Life is meaningless, but worth living, provided you recognize it's meaningless.”

“My dear, In the midst of hate, I found there was, within me, an invincible love. In the midst of tears, I found there was, within me, an invincible smile. In the midst of chaos, I found there was, within me, an invincible calm. I realized, through it all, that... In the midst of winter, I found there was, within me, an invincible summer. And that makes me happy. For it says that no matter how hard the world pushes against me, within me, there's something stronger – something better, pushing right back. Truly yours, Albert Camus”

“Whoever gives nothing, has nothing. The greatest misfortune is not to be unloved, but not to love.”

“Nobody realizes that some people expend tremendous energy merely to be normal.”

“I have no friends, I only have accomplices now. On the other hand, my accomplices are more numerous than my friends: they are the human race.”
