Albert Camus, from Notebooks, 1951-1959

“Find meaning. Distinguish melancholy from sadness. Go out for a walk. It doesn’t have to be a romantic walk in the park, spring at its most spectacular moment, flowers and smells and outstanding poetical imagery smoothly transferring you into another world. It doesn’t have to be a walk during which you’ll have multiple life epiphanies and discover meanings no other brain ever managed to encounter. Do not be afraid of spending quality time by yourself. Find meaning or don’t find meaning but “steal” some time and give it freely and exclusively to your own self. Opt for privacy and solitude. That doesn’t make you antisocial or cause you to reject the rest of the world. But you need to breathe. And you need to be.”

Alber Kami: Nesporazum

Majka: Kad majka vise ne ume da prepozna sina, njena je uloga na zemlji zavrsena. 

Marta: Sina? Ti si me ucila da vise nista ne postujem.

Majka: To dokazuje da u jednom svetu u kom se sve moze poreci, ipak ima neporecivih sila. Na ovoj 

zemlji gde nista nije sigurno postoji nesto sto je izvesno-ljubav.

Marta: Divna je to ljubav koja vas je zaboravila punih 20 godina. 

Majka: Da, divna je to ljubav koja prozivi 20 godina cutanja.

Marta: A ja majko? 

Majka: Dodje vreme kada ubice, kao ja, otupe na sve, besplodni su, bez ikakve moguce buducnosti. Zato ih i smaknu, nisu vise ni za sta.
