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

“The trigger gave; I felt the smooth underside of the butt; and there, in that noise, sharp and deafening at the same time, is where it all started. I shook off the sweat and the sun. I knew that I had shattered the harmony of the day, the exceptional silence of a beach where I'd been happy. Then I fired four more times at the motionless body where the bullets lodged without leaving a trace. And it was like knocking four quick times on the door of unhappiness.”

“Autumn is a second spring when every leaf is a flower.”

““Nothing in life is worth,”

“A novel is never anything but a philosophy expressed in images. And in a good novel the philosophy has disappeared into the images.”

“If something is going to happen to me, I want to be there.”

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

“If Hell is the price of sovereignty, then Hell is the only place where human dignity is fully realized.”

“I prayed to a mystery.”

“the gods play no”

“There either is a god or there is not; there is a 'design' or not.”

“Call it the Human Mission-to be all and do all God sent us here to do. And notice-the mission to be fruitful and conquer and hold sway is given both to Adam and to Eve. 'And God said to them...' Eve is standing right there when God gives the world over to us. She has a vital role to play; she is a partner in this great adventure. All that human beings were intended to do here on earth-all the creativity and exploration, all the battle and rescue and nurture-we were intended to do together. In fact, not only is Eve needed, but she is desperately needed.”

“The reasoning is classic in its clarity. If God does not exist, Kirilov is god. If God does not exist, Kirilov must kill himself. Kirilov must therefore kill himself to become god. That logic is absurd, but it is what is needed.”
