" Words have no meaning now. We've reached the point where we should be holding each other, without saying anything. "

- Maria Casarés to Albert Camus, Correspondance, March 1, 1950 (#225)

There is so much stubborn hope in the human heart.

I'll write you love notes on napkins, grocery reciepts, banana peels, steamed up bathroom mirrors, the rind of a watermelon and the inside of empty teabags. I'll etch them in the condensation on your cold drink, scribble them on the back of old train tickets, and fold them into paper airplanes that land softly at your feet. I'll trace them with my finger in the flour on the counter when we bake, leave them as whispers on the pages of your favorite books, and write them in the sand where the waves gently kiss the shore. I'll even spell them out with the fallen leaves in autumn, and paint them with frost on your windowpane in winter.

In the depth of winter, I finally learned that within me there lay an invincible summer.

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.

Albert Camus, from Notebooks 1951-1959

Albert Camus, The Misunderstanding

[joshuamrl]

I accept your absence, my love, but my soul cannot fathom a world without you. That is my confession.

[philosophybits]

I don’t care if I am in a state of contradiction; I don’t want to be a philosophical genius. I don’t even want to be a genius at all, for I have enough trouble just being a man.

Albert Camus, Notebooks, 1942-1951
