The absurd man will not commit suicide; he wants to live, without relinquishing any of his certainty, without a future, without hope, without illusions โฆ and without resignation either. He stares at death with passionate attention and this fascination liberates him. He experiences the โdivine irresponsibilityโ of the condemned man.
Jean-Paul SartreA madman's ravings are absurd in relation to the situation in which he finds himself, but not in relation to his madness.
Jean-Paul Sartre
