Camus

Famous quotes containing the word camus:

    Realism should only be the means of expression of religious genius ... or, at the other extreme, the artistic expressions of monkeys which are quite satisfied with mere imitation. In fact, art is never realistic though sometimes it is tempted to be. To be really realistic a description would have to be endless.
    —Albert Camus (1913–1960)

    Seventy-five million Jews deported or murdered, that’s cleansing. I admire such thoroughness, such methodical patience! When one has no character, one must have a method.
    —Albert Camus (1913–1960)

    It is normal to give away a little of one’s life in order not to lose it all.
    —Albert Camus (1913–1960)
