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

“Human relationships always help us to carry on because they always presuppose further developments, a future - and also because we live as if our only task was precisely to have relationships with other people.”

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

“I feel like getting married, or committing suicide, or subscribing to L'Illustration. Something desperate, you know.”

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

“I am strangely tired, not from having talked so much but at the mere thought of what I still have to say”

“In the depth of winter, I finally learned that there was within me an invincible summer.”

“God's ways are higher than our ways not because he is less compassionate than we are but because he is more compassionate than we can ever imagine.”

“Most of the world is either asleep or dead. The religious people are, for the most part, asleep. The irreligious are dead. Those who are asleep are divided into two classes, like the Virgins in the parable, waiting for the Bridegroom's coming. The wise have oil in their lamps. That is to say they are detached from themselves and from the cares of the world, and they are full of charity. They are indeed waiting for the Bridegroom, and they desire nothing else but His coming, even though they may fall asleep while waiting for Him to appear. But the others are not only asleep: they are full of other dreams and other desires. Their lamps are empty because they have burned themselves out in the wisdom of the flesh and in their own vanity. When He comes, it is too late for them to buy oil. They light their lamps only after He has gone. So they fall asleep again, with useless lamps, and when they wake up they trim them to investigate, once again, the matters of a dying world.”

“If I were to believe in God enough to call him a murderer, then I might also believe enough that he, as a spirit, exists beyond death; and therefore only he could do it righteously. For the physical being kills a man and hatefully sends him away, whereas God, the spiritual being, kills a man and lovingly draws him nigh.”

“Look back and thank God for letting you climb perilous mountains, of which you came out as if nothing happened, as He preserved you from threats.”
