Jalal ad-Din Muhammad ar-Rumi
“When I am with you, we stay up all night.
When you're not here, I can't go to sleep.
Praise God for those two insomnias!

Rumi

I care for myself. The more solitary, the more friendless, the more unsustained I am, the more I will respect myself.”

Albert Camus
“In order to understand the world, one has to turn away from it on occasion."

[The Minotaur]”
Albert Camus, The Myth of Sisyphus and Other Essays
