"Don't wait for the last judgment - it takes place every day"
- Albert Camus
About this Quote
This quote by Albert Camus is a reminder that we must not wait for a final judgment ahead from an outside source, but rather that we need to recognize the judgments we make every day. Camus is suggesting that we need to take duty for our own actions as well as choices, which we must bear in mind the consequences of our choices. He is also recommending that we must know the judgments we make regarding others, which we need to take care not to judge too roughly. By being mindful of our very own judgments, we can make every effort to be more understanding as well as thoughtful in the direction of others. Eventually, Camus is reminding us that we need to take responsibility for our own activities and also choices, which we must be aware of the judgments we make every day.
"My sorrow, when she's here with me, thinks these dark days of autumn rain are beautiful as days can be; she loves the bare, the withered tree; she walks the sodden pasture lane"
"Rest is not idleness, and to lie sometimes on the grass under trees on a summer's day, listening to the murmur of the water, or watching the clouds float across the sky, is by no means a waste of time"
"I have a dream that my four little children will one day live in a nation where they will not be judged by the color of their skin, but by the content of their character"
