Philosophy Quote by Albert Camus — Inspiring Words on Life, Love & Wisdom

“Don't lies eventually lead to the truth? And don't all my stories, true or false, tend toward the same conclusion? Don't they all have the same meaning? So what does it matter whether they are true or false if, in both cases, they are significant of what I have been and what I am? Sometimes it is easier to see clearly into the liar than into the man who tells the truth. Truth, like light, blinds. Falsehood, on the contrary, is a beautiful twilight that enhances every object.”

“I do not believe in God and I am not an atheist.”

“It is necessary to fall in love – the better to provide an alibi for all the despair we are going to feel anyway.”

“No code of ethics and no effort are justifiable a priori in the face of the cruel mathematics that command our condition.”

“Perhaps we do not love life enough.”

“There is but one true philosophical problem and that is suicide.”

“The most incomprehensible thing about the world is that it is at all comprehensible.”

“În clipa când ți se impune să nu te gândești la un lucru, te vei gândi doar la el, obsesiv. Interdicția devine obligație.”

“Words are made for a certain exactness of thought, as tears are for a certain degree of pain. What is least distinct cannot be named; what is clearest is unutterable.”

“Time is heavy sometimes; imagine how heavy eternity must be.”

“To be, or not to be: what a question!”

“Death plucks my ear and says, 'Live—I am coming.”
