"Life can be magnificent and overwhelming --..." - Quote by Albert Camus

“So all a man could win in the conflict between plague and life was knowledge and memories.”

“Happiness and the absurd are two sons of the same earth. They are inseparable.”

“The workman of today works every day in his life at the same tasks, and this fate is no less absurd. But it is tragic only at the rare moments when it becomes conscious.”

“There's only two things you can start without a plan: a riot and a family, for everything else you need a plan.”

“Life lived for tomorrow will always be just a day away from being realized.”

“Why have I so little control? It is the case of much waste and pain in my life.”

“Find a beautiful piece of art. If you fall in love with Van Gogh or Matisse or John Oliver Killens, or if you fall love with the music of Coltrane, the music of Aretha Franklin, or the music of Chopin - find some beautiful art and admire it, and realize that that was created by human beings just like you, no more human, no less.”

“There are so many things I could say about you but none of them can describe you fully. You are the beauty I was waiting for. The love of my life of whom I dreamed day and night.”

“Every day look at a beautiful picture, read a beautiful poem, listen to some beautiful music, and if possible, say some reasonable thing.”
