...the habit of despair is worse than despair itself.

We rarely confide in those who are better than we are.

It happens that the stage sets collapse. Rising, streetcar, four hours in the office or the factory, meal, streetcar, four hours of work, meal, sleep, and Monday Tuesday Wednesday Thursday Friday and Saturday according to the same rhythm – this path is easily followed most of the time. But one day the “why” arises and everything begins in that weariness tinged with amazement.

The realization that life is absurd cannot be an end, but only a beginning.

The mistake that men make is that they do not believe in theater. Otherwise, they would know that every man is allowed to play thecelestial tragedies and to become god. All he has to do is harden his heart.

It is natural to give a clear view of the world after accepting the idea that it must be clear.

Nihilism is not only despair and negation, but above all the desire to despair and to negate.
