“In the midst of winter, I found there was, within me, an invincible summer. And that makes me happy. For it says that no matter how hard the world pushes against me, within me, there’s something stronger – something better, pushing right back.”

-Albert Camus

(Full quote):

“My dear,

In the midst of hate, I found there was, within me, an invincible love. In the midst of tears, I found there was, within me, an invincible smile. In the midst of chaos, I found there was, within me, an invincible calm. I realized, through it all, that… In the midst of winter, I found there was, within me, an invincible summer. And that makes me happy. For it says that no matter how hard the world pushes against me, within me, there’s something stronger – something better, pushing right back.

Truly yours,

Albert Camus”

To be a revolutionary, one must continue to believe in something, even where there is nothing in which to believe.

Albert Camus/ The Rebel

[best-of-the-cutthroats]

The only way to deal with an unfree world is to become so absolutely free that your very existence is an act of rebellion.

Camus

[roman-book-eater]

Por una inconsecuencia extraña en raza tan sagaz, los griegos aseguraban que quienes morían jóvenes eran los amados de los dioses. Y no es cierto, salvo si se quiere admitir que entrar en el mundo irrisorio de los dioses es perder para siempre el más puro de los goces, que es sentir y sentirse sobre esta tierra.

Albert Camus

El mito de Sísifo 

[roman-book-eater]

Sabedor de que no hay excusas victoriosas, me gustan las causas perdidas: éstas exigen un alma entera, tanto en su derrota como en sus victorias pasajeras... Yo he hecho mía esa angustia al mismo tiempo que he querido jugar con ella mi partida. Entre la historia y lo eterno, elegí la historia porque me gustan las certezas. De ella por lo menos estoy seguro.
