Albert Camus is GOD.

>> No.574200

Man alone is an end unto himself. Everything one tries to do for 'the common good' ends in failure.

I have had "the plague" lying around my room for about a year, refusing to read it for some reason I have long forgotten. It's come up several times in threads. I think it's time for me to read it. Love you /lit/

that sounds like something that Rand could have said

Camus holds a view indistinguishable in all essential respects from Rand's.

In french, it's amazing:
"Il n'y a qu'un problème philosophique vraiment sérieux: c'est le suicide. Juger que la vie vaut ou ne vaut pas la peine d'être vécue, c'est répondre à la question fondamentale de la philosophie."

"L'absurde naît de la confrontation de l'appel humain avec le silence déraisonnable du monde."

"Je me révolte, donc je suis."

"Je fus placé à mi-distance de la misère et du soleil."

"Il n'y a pas d'amour de vivre sans désespoir de vivre."

The final of The Stranger, in french:
"Pour que tout soit consommé, pour que je me sentes moins seul, il me restait à souhaiter qu'il y ait beaucoup de spectateurs le jour de mon exécution et qu'ils m'accueillent avec des cris de haines."

Basically he is talking about how he was once happy and how now in jail he became very unhappy, however he adapted to the jail system and talked about how human beings can adapt to anything. He also talks about how he is now happy once again and is excited to see the crowd at his death and final bow.
