Selections from Albert Camus, “The Myth of Sisyphus”

| Everything considered, a determined soul will always manage.		(41)
|
| To a man devoid of blinders, there is no finer sight than that
| of the intelligence at grips with a reality that transcends it.	(55)

Albert Camus, ''The Myth of Sisyphus and Other Essays'',
Justin O’Brien (trans.), Random House, New York, NY, 1991.

by Librairie Gallimard, 1942.  First published in the
United States by Alfred A. Knopf, 1955.

Notes

I started out trying to read this as philosophy, but the strain of doing that was making me ill,
so I had to switch over and read it as a novel, a stream of consciousness narrative of a man
fighting his way through a storm of mental impressions.
