Albert Camus Quotes

We will all either live together or we will perish together.

In the end, for all our differences and conflicts, most women and men share the same food, work, shelter, bed, life, joy, anguish, and fate. We need each other.

We're all inseparably part of each other. We all coexist in each other.

We may have all come on different ships, but we're in the same boat now.

There is a destiny which makes us brothers; none goes his way alone. All that we send into the lives of others comes back into our own.

We are each other's destiny.

Men exist for the sake of one another.

You know, one race will not be a survivor if the other one dies, and that's something that we should think about.

Life doesn't make any sense without interdependence. We need each other, and the sooner we learn that, the better for us all.

We are one, after all, you and I, together we suffer, together exist and forever will recreate each other.

We are all tied together in a single garment of destiny . . . I can never be what I ought to be until you are allowed to be what you ought to be.

Our lives are like islands in the sea, or like trees in the forest. The maple and the pine may whisper to each other with their leaves ... But the trees also commingle their roots in the darkness underground, and the islands also hang together through the ocean's bottom.

In a real sense all life is inter-related. All men are caught in an inescapable network of mutuality, tied in a single garment of destiny. Whatever affects one directly, affects all indirectly.

You're my existence. I'm yours

At such moments, you realize that you and the other are, in fact, one. It's a big realization. Survival is the second law of life. The first is that we are all one.

Your life and my life flow into each other as wave flows into wave, and unless there is peace and joy and freedom for you, there can be no real peace or joy or freedom for me.

We are united with all life that is in nature. Man can no longer live his life for himself alone.

We must all learn to live together as brothers. Or we will all perish together as foolsFor some strange reason I can never be what I ought to be until you are what you ought to be. And you can never be what you ought to be until I am what I ought to be.

In one sheet of paper, we see everything else, the cloud, the forest, the logger. I am, therefore you are. You are, therefore I am. That is the meaning of the word "interbeing." We interare.

Man can no longer live his life for himself alone. We realize that all life is valuable and that we are united to all this life. From this knowledge comes our spiritual relationship to the universe.

She fights and vanquishes in me, and I live and breathe in her, and I have life and being.

I think on a day-to-day basis, what attracts us in coexisting with another living, evolving thing, is that you have a relationship that's different than with a piece of furniture. We experience the cycle of life through these other beings.

I am you and you are me; it is obvious we inter-are.

This is the power of the Goliath, that no one on earth, Clanker or Darwinist, can escape. So we all must learn to share the globe, or perish together!

I am thee and thou art me and all of one is the other.
