| Quote of the moment |
| In most cases the affirmation of the ego leads only to disappointment, or else to conflict with other egos just as exclusive as mine - especially when the strong development of the ego leads to whims and demands. The illusion of the permanent self secretes a danger that lies in wait for all of us: I want this, I want that. You might end up killing someone, as we all know well. The excess of egoism leads to uncontrollable perversions, which always end badly. But from another standpoint, a firm ego, sure of itself, can be a very positive element. You have to have real confidence in yourself. |

| Quote of the moment |
| It is essential to die unreconciled and not of one's own free will. Suicide is a repudiation. The absurd man can only drain everything to the bitter end, and deplete himself. The absurd is his extreme tension, which he maintains constantly by solitary effort, for he knows that in that consciousness and in that day-to-day revolt he gives proof of his only truth, which is defiance. This is a first consequence. |
| ~ The Myth of Sisyphus, An Absurd Reasoning, Absurd Freedom, Albert Camus (1913 - 1960) ~ |
