More From Albert Camus

Men are four; he who knows and knows not that he knows. he is asleep; wake him. he who knows not and knows not that he knows not. he is a fool; shun him. he who knows not and knows that he knows not. he is a child; teach him. he who knows and knows that he knows. he is a king; follow him. the heights by great men reached and kept were not attained by sudden flight, but they, while their companions slept, were toiling upward in the night.

When one has once accepted and absorbed evil, it no longer demands the unfitness of the means. the ulterior motives with which youabsorb and assimilate evil are not your own but those of evil.... evil is whatever distracts. evil knows of the good, but good does not know of evil. knowledge of oneself is something only evil has. one means that evil has is the dialogue.... one cannot pay evil in installments--and one always keeps on trying to.
Mean Evil Trying
There are four types of men in this world: 1. the man who knows, and knows that he knows; he is wise, so consult him. 2. the man who knows, but doesn't know that he knows; help him not forget what he knows. 3. the man who knows not, and knows that he knows not; teach him. 4. finally, there is the man who knows not but pretends that he knows; he is a fool, so avoid him.

We can never obtain peace in the world if we neglect the inner world and don't make peace with ourselves. world peace must develop out of inner peace. without inner peace it is impossible to achieve world peace, external peace. weapons themselves do not act. they have not come out of the blue. man has made them. but even given those weapons, those terrible weapons, they cannot act by themselves. as long as they are left alone in storage they cannot do any harm. a human being must use them. someone must push the button. satan, the evil powers, cannot push that button. human beings must do it.

The function of the rebel is to shake the fixated mores of the rigid order of civilization; and this shaking, though painful, is necessary if the society is to be saved from boredom and apathy. obviously i do not refer to everyone who calls himself a rebel, but only to the authentic rebel. civilization gets its first flower from the rebel.

Similar Quotes
I prefer by far the warmth and softness to mere brilliancy and coldness. some people remind me of sharp dazzling diamonds. valuable but lifeless and loveless. others, of the simplest field flowers, with hearts full of dew and with all the tints of celestial beauty reflected in their modest petals.
