Happiness, Happy, Laughter

"The Fall". Book by Albert Camus, 1956.

When you have once seen the glow of happiness on the face of a beloved person, you know that a man can have no vocation but to awaken that light on the faces surrounding him. In the depth of winter, I finally learned that within me there lay an invincible summer.

Happiness, Heart, Firsts

L'Etranger (The Stranger) pt. 2, ch. 5 (1942)

There are some individuals who have too strong a craving, a will, and a nostalgia for happiness ever to reach it. They always retain a bitter and passionate aftertaste, and that's the best they can hope for.

Albert Camus (2012). “The Fall”, p.20, Vintage

Happiness and the absurd are two sons of the same earth. They are inseparable.

Happiness, Son, Two

Albert Camus (2012). “The Myth of Sisyphus: And Other Essays”, p.122, Vintage

Happiness and the absurd are two sons of the same earth. They are inseparable. It would be a mistake to say that happiness necessarily springs from the absurd discovery. It happens as well that the felling of the absurd springs from happiness. "I conclude that all is well," says Oedipus, and that remark is sacred. It echoes in the wild and limited universe of man. It teaches that all is not, has not been, exhausted. It drives out of this world a god who had come into it with dissatisfaction and a preference for futile suffering. It makes of fate a human matter, which must be settled among men.

Happiness, Mistake, Spring

Happiness, Two, Suffering
