The absurd depends as much on man as on the world. For the moment, it is all that links them together.

When the throne of God is overturned, the rebel realizes that it is now his own responsibility to create the justice, order, and unity that he sought in vain within his own condition, and in this way to justify the fall of God. Then begins the desperate effort to create, at the price of crime and murder if necessary, the dominion of man.

There are plagues, and there are victims, and it's the duty of good men not to join forces with the plagues.

Against eternal injustice, man must assert justice, and to protest against the universe of grief, he must create happiness.

Men must live and create. Live to the point of tears.

Judging whether life is or is not worth living amounts to answering the fundamental question of philosophy.

Every ideology is contrary to human psychology.
