“You continue making the gestures commanded by existence for many reasons, the first of which is habit.”
― Albert Camus, The Myth of Sisyphus

“We get into the habit of living before acquiring the habit of thinking.”

“Proof, once again, that reality was not objective, but always waiting to be reshaped and redefined by one's attitude.”

“You are all desperate for purpose, even though you don’t have one. You’re animals, and animals don’t have a purpose. Animals just are. And there are a lot of intelligent - sentient, maybe - animals out there who don’t have a problem with that. They just go on breathing and mating and eating each other without a second thought. But the animals like you - the ones who make tools and build cities and itch to explore, you all share a need for purpose. For reason . That thinking worked well for you, once.”
― Becky Chambers, A Closed and Common Orbit
