Albert Camus Quotes

Albert Camus (7 November 1913 - 4 January 1960) was a French philosopher, author, and journalist. His views contributed to the rise of the philosophy known as absurdism.

He won the Nobel Prize in Literature at the age of 44 in 1957, the second youngest recipient in history.

It is our honor to bring you this top collection of Albert Camus's quotes masterfully handpicked to inspire but also pay a tribute to one of the forefathers of existentialism.

He argued that this crisis of self could cause a man to commit "philosophical suicide"; choosing to believe in external sources that give life (what he would describe as false) meaning.
