We're going forward, but nothing changes.

A man who has become conscious of the absurd is for ever bound to it.

In the world today, only a philosophy of eternity could justify non-violence.

A sub-clerk in the post-office is the equal of a conqueror if consciousness is common to them.

It is not the world that is absurd, nor human thought: the absurd arises when the human need to understand meets the unreasonableness of the world, when 'my appetite for the absolute and for unity' meets 'the impossibility of reducing this world to a rational and reasonable principle.'

What the world requires of the Christians is that they should continue to be Christians.

When I look at my life and its secret colors, I feel like bursting into tears.
