Albert Camus Quotes on Values

6 quotes

In everything I have done or said up to now, I seem to recognize these two forces, even when they are at cross-purposes.

  4. Liberty ultimately seems to me, for societies and for individuals, for labor and for culture, the supreme good that governs all others.

  5. The most painful thing to bear is seeing a mockery made of what one loves.

  6. We live in an unsacrosanct moment in history.
