What a heavy book to read on a long haul flight. Not literally heavy like a dictionary, but the attempt to digest one of Nobel Prize winner Albert Camus' philosophical novels was.
In The Stranger or The Outsider (L’Étranger), I found this interesting line from the book which I felt like sharing,
"You will never be happy if you continue to search for what happiness consists of. You will never live if you are looking for the meaning of life.”
The Carpenters pondered with a song even, did they not?
"Why do birds suddenly appear, every time you are near?"
"Why do birds suddenly appear, every time you are near?"
Well...they just do. And may be we should stop asking why oh why and just get on with life. I have obviously caught the bug from Camus.
Let go of your sadness, give up the fight;
Follow your madness, and take flight.
I know you are capable of.
Let go of your sadness, give up the fight;
Follow your madness, and take flight.
