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

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

Maria Casarès to Albert Camus, Correspondance, March 1, 1950 [#225]

Camus first read Dostoevsky when he was 20 years old, and later called it a "soul-shaking experience." He was moved by the moral weight of Dostoevsky's words. When the horrors of Stalin's purges came to light, Camus refused to look away. As he later said: 'The real 19th century prophet was Dostoevsky, not Karl Marx.'

Camus described the novel's importance: 'The Possessed' is one of the four or five works that I rank above all others. In more ways that one, I can say that it has enriched me and shaped me.'

― Albert Camus, Notebooks: 1935-1951

[petaltexturedskies]

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
