“I leave Sisyphus at the foot of the mountain. One always finds one's burden again. But Sisyphus teaches the higher fidelity that negates the gods and raises rocks. He too concludes that all is well. This universe henceforth without a master seems to him neither sterile nor futile. Each atom of that stone, each mineral flake of that night-filled mountain, in itself, forms a world. The struggle itself toward the heights is enough to fill a man's heart. One must imagine Sisyphus happy.”

“Are you really a reporter?” asked Brown. “You already asked me that. Come back to Levita, take the pardon.”  “I doubt I’ll live long enough to get there,” said Brown bitterly. “I hope you survive. You are a fighter. And we have the antidote for your habit on Levita. I suggest you take a vacation. There’s nothing much that’s going to happen here.” With that she left, leaving Brown more confused than ever. He was a father, he had a son. And, the Levitians had a cure for his drug-addled body.”
