Albert Camus: Idézetek angolul
“To become god is merely to be free on this earth, not to serve an immortal being.”
Kirilov
The Myth of Sisyphus (1942), Absurd Creation
Pauvre et libre plutôt que riche et asservi. Bien entendu les hommes veulent être et riches et libres et c’est ce qui les conduit quelquefois à être pauvres et esclaves.
Notebooks (1942–1951)
“Man is the only creature who refuses to be what he is.”
Introduction
The Rebel (1951)
“The preceding merely defines a way of thinking. But the point is to live.”
The Myth of Sisyphus (1942), An Absurd Reasoning
“It's better to bet on this life than on the next.”
A Happy Death (1971)
Nous nous trompons toujours deux fois sur ceux que nous aimons: d'abord à leur avantage, puis à leur désavantage.
A Happy Death (written 1938), first published as La mort heureuse (1971), as translated by Richard Howard (1972)
Változat: He discovered the cruel paradox by which we always deceive ourselves twice about the people we love — first to their advantage, then to their disadvantage.
“Great novelists are philosopher-novelists who write in images instead of arguments.”
This may have arisen as a paraphrase of statements found in The Myth of Sisyphus (1942), "An Absurd Reasoning", or one found in The Novelist as Philosopher: Studies in French Fiction 1935-1960 (1962) edited by John Cruikshank, p. 218

“Do not wait for the Last Judgment. It takes place every day.”
Variant translations: I shall tell you a great secret, my friend. Do not wait for the Last Judgment. It takes place every day.
Do not await the last Judgement. It takes place everyday.
You needn't await the Final Judgment. It takes place every day.
The Fall (1956)
Part 2: Metaphysical Rebellion; also quoted in Albert Camus : The Invincible Summer (1958) by Albert Maquet, p. 86; a remark made about the Marquis de Sade
The Rebel (1951)
"Letter to P.B." in Lyrical and Critical Essays (1970)
“The opposite of an idealist is too often a man without love.”
A Happy Death (1971)
“Blessed are the hearts that can bend; they shall never be broken.”
A Happy Death (1971)
Widely attributed, but likely apocryphal. https://quoteinvestigator.com/2015/08/23/friend/ Researchers have searched for this quote unsuccessfully in Camus' extant works.

“But in the end one needs more courage to live than to kill himself.”
A Happy Death (1971)
