Life continues, and some mornings, weary of the noise, discouraged by the prospect of the interminable work to keep after, sickened also by the madness of the world that leaps at you from the newspaper, finally convinced that I will not be equal to it and that I will disappoint everyone — all I want to do is sit down and wait for evening. This is what I feel like, and sometimes I yield to it.
— Albert Camus, “Letter to P.B.” in Lyrical and Critical Essays (1970)

Camus is often my spirit philosopher ❤️
Same. 🙂
Yes, I know that feeling.
One of those writers who struck a chord in my youth and who have stayed the course.
I can relate.Camus is one of those writers who you can grow into as you leave youth behind. What resonated with the younger me rang with a clearer tone later on.
