Albert Camus: The Myth of Sisyphus (Paperback, 2018, Vintage) 4 stars

«Il n'y a qu'un problème philosophique vraiment sérieux : c'est le suicide.» Avec cette formule …

I leave Sisyphus at the foot of the mountain! One always finds one’s burden again. But Sisyphus teaches the higher fidelity that negates the gods and raises rocks. He too concludes that all is well. This universe henceforth without a master seems to him neither sterile nor futile. Each atom of that stone, each mineral flake of that night-filled mountain, in itself forms a world. The struggle itself toward the heights is enough to fill a man’s heart. One must imagine Sisyphus happy.

It touches me every time reading this passage, no matter how many times I’ve read it.
