| Quote of the moment |
| The absurd man, on the other hand, does not undertake such a leveling process. He recognizes the struggle, does not absolutely scorn reason, and admits the irrational. Thus he again embraces in a single glance all the data of experience and he is little inclined to leap before knowing. He knows simply that in the alert awareness there is no further place for hope. |
| ~ The Myth of Sisyphus, An Absurd Reasoning, Philosophical Suicide, Albert Camus (1913 - 1960) ~ |
