“Freedom is the source from which all significations and all values spring. It is the original condition of all justification of existence. The man who seeks to justify his life must want freedom itself absolutely and above everything else. To will oneself moral and to will oneself free are one and the same decision.” - Simone de Beauvoir

i did want to ask if you have a preferred name so i dont call you a cup of tea <3 and have you read anything by albert camus or jeanpaul sartre?

Ofc! I go by Lin online since it's close enough to my real name but arguably sounds cooler ☕

And yes and no! (Or rather no and yes) I haven't read anything by Camus yet but The Stranger has been on my list forever (also The Rebel, mainly because of Saint-Just ofc).

But I have read Sartre! Existentialism is a Humanism is one of my favourite philosophical texts of all time (and I'm not just saying that because it's relatively short and understandable...) I've also read No Exit, the 'hell is other people' play. Good stuff.

So I guess overall:

added to TBR | on my TBR | couldn’t finish it | did not enjoy | it was OK | liked it | loved it | favorite | not interested

every time i see a photo of albert camus my immediate first thought is "that man fucks"
