“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

Albert Camus
“We get into the habit of living before acquiring the habit of thinking.”
Albert Camus, The Myth of Sisyphus

Albert Camus
“Likewise the mind that aims to understand reality can consider itself satisfied only by reducing it to terms of thought.”
Albert Camus, The Myth of Sisyphus

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

Albert Camus
“Of whom and of what can I say: "I know that"! This heart within me I can feel, and I judge that it exists. This world I can touch, and I likewise judge that it exists. There ends all my knowledge, and the rest is construction. For if I try to seize this self of which I feel sure, if I try to define and to summarize it, it is nothing but water slipping through my fingers. I can sketch one by one all the aspects it is able to assume, all those likewise that have been attributed to it, this upbringing, this origin, this ardor or these silences, this nobility or this vileness. But aspects cannot be added up. This very heart which is mine will forever remain indefinable to me. Between the certainty I have of my existence and the content I try to give to that assurance the gap will never be filled.”
Albert Camus, The Myth of Sisyphus and Other Essays
