درباره کتاب افسانه سیزیف نوشته آلبر کامو :

در بخشی از کتاب افسانه‌ سیزیف نوشته آلبر کامو می‌خوانیم:

من مى‌توانم دنیاى پیرامون را و هر آنچه با آن رویارو مى‌شوم و یا مرا به دنبال خود مى‌کشد انکار کنم، اما نمى‌توانم آشفتگى، تصادف و ملکوتى که از دل نابسامانى سر برآورده را منکر شوم. من نمى‌دانم آیا این دنیا مفهومى فراسوى خود دارد یا نه؟ اما مى‌دانم اگر هم داشته باشد من مفهوم آن را در نمى‌یابم و در حال حاضر امکان شناخت نسبت به آن را ندارم. آنچه خارج از قلمروى من است آیا مى‌تواند برایم معنا و مفهوم داشته باشد؟ من جز به مثابه‌ى موجودى انسانى هیچ‌چیز را درک نخواهم کرد و اگر چه تنها آنچه قابل لمس باشد و در برابرم ایستادگى کند را درک مى‌کنم، اما مى‌دانم همین دو را نیز با وجود میل به مطلق و یگانگى و همچنین سازش‌ناپذیرى دنیا که اصلى عقلانى و منطقى دارد نمى‌توانم با یکدیگر آشتى دهم. بدون ریا و به میان کشاندن پاى امیدى که ندارم، کدام حقیقت خارج از مرزهاى قلمرویم را مى‌توانم بشناسم؟

The Myth of Sisyphus and Other Essays by Albert Camus

One of the most influential works of this century, this is a crucial exposition of existentialist thought. Influenced by works such as Don Juan, and the novels of Kafka, these essays begin with a meditation on suicide: the question of living or not living in an absurd universe devoid of order or meaning. With lyric eloquence, Camus posits a way out of despair, reaffirming the value of personal existence, and the possibility of life lived with dignity and authenticity.

The Myth of Sisyphus and Other Essays by Albert Camus Quotes

“In order to understand the world, one has to turn away from it on occasion.”

[The Minotaur]”
― Albert Camus, The Myth of Sisyphus and Other Essays

“Seeking what is true is not seeking what is desirable.”

“Man is always prey to his truths. Once he has admitted them, he cannot free himself from them.”

“What is called a reason for living is also an excellent reason for dying.”
― Albert Camus, The Myth of Sisyphus and Other Essays

“There is scarcely any passion without struggle.”

“I know simply that the sky will last longer than I.”

“Man stands face to face with the irrational. He feels within him his longing for happiness and for reason. The absurd is born of this confrontation between the human need and the unreasonable silence of the world.”
― Albert Camus, The Myth of Sisyphus and Other Essays

“A man devoid of hope and conscious of being so has ceased to belong to the future.”

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

“A man is more a man through the things he keeps to himself than through those he says.”
― Albert Camus, The Myth of Sisyphus and Other Essays

“A man wants to earn money in order to be happy, and his whole effort and the best of a life are devoted to the earning of that money. Happiness is forgotten; the means are taken for the end.”

“This very heart which is mine will forever remain indefinable to me. Between the certainty I have of my existence and the content I try to give to that assurance, the gap will never be filled. Forever I shall be a stranger to myself.”

“Likewise and during every day of an unillustrious life, time carries us. But a moment always comes when we have to carry it. We live on the future: “tomorrow,” “later on,” “when you have made your way,” “you will understand when you are old enough.” Such irrelevancies are wonderful, for, after all, it’s a matter of dying. Yet a day comes when a man notices or says that he is thirty. Thus he asserts his youth. But simultaneously he situates himself in relation to time. He takes his place in it. He admits that he stands at a certain point on a curve that he acknowledges having to travel to its end. He belongs to time, and by the horror that seizes him, he recognizes his worst enemy. Tomorrow, he was longing for tomorrow, whereas everything in him ought to reject it. That revolt of the flesh is the absurd.”
― Albert Camus, The Myth of Sisyphus and Other Essays

“Without culture, and the relative freedom it implies, society, even when perfect, is but a jungle. This is why any authentic creation is a gift to the future.”

“There can be no question of holding forth on ethics. I have seen people behave badly with great morality and I note every day that integrity has no need of rules”

“The absurd is lucid reason noting its limits.”
― Albert Camus, The Myth of Sisyphus and Other Essays

“Existence is illusory and it is eternal.”

“Why should it be essential to love rarely in order to love much?”

“Of whom and of what can I say: “I know that”! This heart within me I can feel, and I judge that it exists. This world I can touch, and I likewise judge that it exists. There ends all my knowledge, and the rest is construction. For if I try to seize this self of which I feel sure, if I try to define and to summarize it, it is nothing but water slipping through my fingers. I can sketch one by one all the aspects it is able to assume, all those likewise that have been attributed to it, this upbringing, this origin, this ardor or these silences, this nobility or this vileness. But aspects cannot be added up. This very heart which is mine will forever remain indefinable to me. Between the certainty I have of my existence and the content I try to give to that assurance the gap will never be filled.”
― Albert Camus, The Myth of Sisyphus and Other Essays

“From the moment absurdity is recognized, it becomes a passion, the most harrowing of all. But whether or not one can live with one’s passions, whether or not one can accept their law, which is to burn the heart they simultaneously exalt – that is the whole question.”

“Man cannot do without beauty, and this is what our era pretends to want to disregard.”

“Creating is living doubly. The groping, anxious quest of a Proust, his meticulous collecting of flowers, of wallpapers, and of anxieties, signifies nothing else.”
― Albert Camus, The Myth of Sisyphus and Other Essays

“Beginning to think is beginning to be undermined. Society has but little connection with such beginnings. The worm is in man’s heart. That is where it must be sought. One must follow and understand this fatal game that leads from lucidity in the face of existence to flight from light.”

“There is no longer a single idea explaining everything, but an infinite number of essences giving a meaning to an infinite number of objects. The world comes to a stop, but also lights up.”

“One must imagine Sisyphus happy.”
― Albert Camus, The Myth of Sisyphus and Other Essays
