Albert Camus

Mean, Fighting, Common Decency

Albert Camus (1960). “The plague: translated from the French”

There is merely bad luck in not being loved; there is misfortune in not loving. All of us, today, are dying of this misfortune. For violence and hatred dry up the heart itself; the long fight for justice exhausts the love that nevertheless gave birth to it.

Albert Camus

Heart, Fighting, Dry Up

Albert Camus (2012). “The Myth of Sisyphus: And Other Essays”, p.201, Vintage

Albert Camus

Fighting, Thinking, Mad

Many fledgling moralists in those days were going about our town proclaiming there was nothing to be done about it and we should bow to the inevitable. And Tarrou, Rieux, and their friends might give one answer or another, but its conclusion was always the same, their certitude that a fight must be put up, in this way or that, and there must be no bowing down... There was nothing admirable about this attitude; it was merely logical.

Albert Camus

Attitude, Fighting, Giving

Albert Camus (1960). “The plague: translated from the French”

The entire history of mankind is, in any case, nothing but a prolonged fight to the death for the conquest of universal prestige and absolute power.

Albert Camus

Fighting, History, Prestige

Albert Camus (2012). “The Rebel: An Essay on Man in Revolt”, p.139, Vintage

The rebel can never find peace. He knows what is good and, despite himself, does evil. The value which supports him is never given to him once and for all - he must fight to uphold it, unceasingly.

Albert Camus

Peace, Fighting, Evil
