To grow old is to pass from passion to compassion.

Passion, Age, Aging

Albert Camus (1963). “Carnets: 1942-1951”

There is scarcely any passion without struggle.

Struggle, Passion, Existentialism

Albert Camus (2012). “The Myth of Sisyphus: And Other Essays”, p.73, Vintage

To create today is to create dangerously. Any publication is an act, and that act exposes one to the passions of an age that forgives nothing.

Passion, Forgiving, Age

The absurd hero's refusal to hope becomes his singular ability to live in the present with passion.

Hero, Passion, Live In The Present

All that remains is a fate whose outcome alone is fatal. Outside of that single fatality of death, everything, joy or happiness, is liberty. A world remains of which man is the sole master. What bound him was the illusion of another world. The outcome of his thought, ceasing to be renunciatory, flowers in images. It frolics-\-\-in myths, to be sure, but myths with no other depth than that of human suffering and, like it, inexhaustible. Not the divine fable that amuses and blinds, but the terrestrial face, gesture, and drama in which are summed up a difficult wisdom and an ephemeral passion.

Drama, Flower, Passion

Truth is not a virtue, but a passion. It is never charitable.

Passion, Truth Is, Virtue

Albert Camus (2008). “Notebooks, 1951-1959”, Ivan R Dee

A taste for truth at any cost is a passion which spares nothing.

Life, Truth, Passion

In that daily effort in which intelligence and passion mingle and delight each other, the absurd man discovers a discipline that will make up the greatest of his strengths. The required diligence and doggedness and lucidity thus resemble the conqueror's attitude. To create is likewise to give a shape to one's fate. For all these characters, their work defines them at least as much as it is defined by them. The actor taught us this: There is no frontier between being and appearing.

Attitude, Character, Passion

"The Myth of Sisyphus". Book by Albert Camus, 1942.

I draw from the Absurd three consequences: my revolt, my liberty, my passion.

Passion, Liberty, Three

Life, Passion, Logic

Albert Camus (2012). “The Rebel: An Essay on Man in Revolt”, p.3, Vintage

To those who despair of everything reason cannot provide a faith, but only passion, and in this case it must be the same passion that lay at the root of the despair, namely humiliation and hatred.

Passion, Roots, Hatred

"Memorable Quotations: Philosophers of Western Civilization". Book by Carol A. Dingle, p. 40, January 1, 2000.

From the moment absurdity is recognized, it becomes a passion, the most harrowing of all. But whether or not one can live with one's passions, whether or not one can accept their law, which is to burn the heart they simultaneously exalt - that is the whole question.

Passion, Heart, Law

Albert Camus (2012). “The Myth of Sisyphus: And Other Essays”, p.22, Vintage

The real passion of the twentieth century is servitude.

Real, Passion, Century

Thus I draw from the absurd three consequences, which are my revolt, my freedom, and my passion. By the mere activity of consciousness I transform into a rule of life what was an invitation to death—and I refuse suicide.

Suicide, Passion, Three

Albert Camus (2012). “The Myth of Sisyphus: And Other Essays”, p.64, Vintage

Yes, I know what passion would fill me with all its power. Before, I was too young. I got in the way. Now I know that acting and loving and suffering is living, of course, but it’s only living insofar as you can be transparent and accept your fate, like the unique reflection of a rainbow of joys and passions which is the same for everyone.

Passion, Fate, Reflection

Albert Camus (2012). “Happy Death”, p.41, Vintage

A liking for truth at any cost is a passion that spares nothing and that nothing resists. It's a vice, at times a comfort, or a selfishness.

Selfish, Passion, Comfort

Albert Camus (1960). “Collected fiction”

The end of their passion consists of loving uselessly at the moment when it is pointless.

Passion, Happiness And Love, Moments

Albert Camus (2008). “Notebooks, 1951-1959”, Ivan R Dee

Great feelings take with them their own universe, splendid or abject. They light up with their passion an exclusive world in which they recognize their climate.

Passion, Light, Feelings

Albert Camus (2012). “The Myth of Sisyphus: And Other Essays”, p.10, Vintage
