“I leave Sisyphus at the foot of the mountain. One always finds one's burden again. But Sisyphus teaches the higher fidelity that negates the gods and raises rocks. He too concludes that all is well. This universe henceforth without a master seems to him neither sterile nor futile. Each atom of that stone, each mineral flake of that night-filled mountain, in itself, forms a world. The struggle itself toward the heights is enough to fill a man's heart. One must imagine Sisyphus happy.”

“Naše žizni proljeće je kratko,
Znojno ljeto za njime sljeduje,
Smutna jesen i ledena zima; Dan za danom vjenčaje se tokom,
Svaki našom ponaosob mukom.
Nema dana koji mi želimo,
Nit blaženstva za kojim čeznemo;
Ko će vjetar ludi zauzdati
Ko l' pučini zabranit kipjeti
Ko l' granicu želji naznačiti?



S točke svake pogledaj čovjeka,
Kako hoćeš sudi o čovjeku —
Tajna čojku čovjek je najviša!
Tvar je Tvorca čovjek izabrana:
Ako istok sunce sv'jetlo rađa,
Ako biće vri u luče sjajne,
Ako zemlja priviđenje nije,
Duša ljudska jeste besamrtna;
Mi smo iskra u smrtnu prašinu,
Mi smo luča tamom obuzeta.”
― Petar II Petrović Njegoš, Luča mikrokozma
