It is necessary to fall in love... if only to provide an alibi for all the random despair you are going to feel anyway.

Life can be magnificent and overwhelming -- that is the whole tragedy. Without beauty, love, or danger it would almost be easy to live.

For if there is a sin against life, it consists perhaps not so much in despairing of life as in hoping for another life and in eluding the implacable grandeur of this life.

Those who love, friends and lovers, know that love is not only a blinding flash, but also a long and painful struggle in the darkness for the realization of definitive recognition and reconciliation.

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

How hard it is, how bitter it is to become a man!
