Happiness is generous. It does not subsist on destruction.

... unhappiness is like marriage. We believe we chose it, but then it is choosing us. That is how it is, we can do nothing about it.

The struggle itself towards the heights is enough to fill a man's heart. One must imagine Sisyphus happy.

Everything considered, a determined soul will always manage.

More and more, revolution has found itself delivered into the hands of its bureaucrats and doctrinaires on the one hand, and to the enfeebled and bewildered masses on the other.

But sometimes it takes more courage to live than to shoot yourself.

Those who lack the courage will always find a philosophy to justify it.
