Albert Camus Guilt Quotations

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

In the end, we would like not to be guilty while at the same time being dispensed of the effort of purifying ourselves. Not enough cynicism and not enough virtue.

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.

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

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

In every guilty man, there is some innocence. This makes every absolute condemnation revolting.

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

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.
