The Myth of Sisyphus

by Albert Camus

(what is called a reason for living is also an excellent reason for dying).

Like great works, deep feelings always mean more than they are conscious of saying.

Great works are often born on a street-corner or in a restaurant’s revolving door. So it is with absurdity. The absurd world more than others derives its nobility from that abject birth.

We turn toward God only to obtain the impossible. As for the possible, men suffice.”
