“Metaphysical rebellion is the movement by which man protests against his condition and against the
whole of creation. It is metaphysical because it contests the ends of man and of creation. The slave
protests against the condition in which he finds himself within his state of slavery; the metaphysical rebel
protests against the condition in which he finds himself as a man. The rebel slave affirms that there is
something in him that will not tolerate the manner in which his master treats him; the metaphysical rebel
declares that he is frustrated by the universe. For both of them, it is not only a question of pure and simple
negation. In both cases, in fact, we find a value judgment in the name of which the rebel refuses to
approve the condition in which he finds himself.”
― Albert Camus, The Rebel

“الناس في الغالب يقتلون من يحبون أكثر من قتلهم من يكرهون ، لأن الذين تحبهم هم وحدهم الذين يستطيعون أن يجعلوا حياتك لا تطاق”
― Agatha Christie, Crooked House

“Il faut imaginer Sisyphe heureux”
― Albert Camus, The Myth of Sisyphus

“I felt once more how simple and frugal a thing is happiness: a glass of wine, a roast chestnut, a wretched little brazier, the sound of the sea. Nothing else.”
― Nikos Kazantzakis, Zorba the Greek
