Albert Camus Guilt Quotations

One might think, that a period which, within fifty years, uproots, enslaves or kills seventy million human beings, should only, and forthwith, be condemned. But also its guilt must be understood.

Their guilt made me eloquent because I was not its victim.

God is not necessary to create culpability, or to punish. Our fellow men are enough for that, helped by ourselves.

But who would dare condemn me in this world with no judges, where no one is innocent!

The more I accuse myself, the more right I have to judge you. Even better, I make you judge yourself, which comforts me the more.

There may be responsible persons, but there are no guilty ones.
