“Of course, true love is exceptional - two or three times a century, more or less. The rest of the time there is vanity or boredom.”
― Albert Camus, The Fall

“One has deprived becoming of its innocence if being in this or that state is traced back to will, to intentions, to accountable acts: the doctrine of will has been invented essentially for the purpose of punishment, that is of finding guilty.”
― Friedrich Nietzsche, Twilight of Idols and Anti-Christ

“Albert Camus wrote that the only serious question is whether to kill yourself or not.
Tom Robbins wrote that the only serious question is whether time has a beginning and an end.
Camus clearly got up on the wrong side of bed, and Robbins must have forgotten to set the alarm.
There is only one serious question. And that is: Who knows how to make love stay?
Answer me that and I will tell you whether or not to kill yourself.”
― Tom Robbins, Still Life with Woodpecker

“The priest knows of only one great danger: that science – the sound comprehension of cause and effect. But science flourishes, on the whole, only under favourable conditions – a man must have time, he must have an overflowing intellect, in order to “know.”…. “Therefore man must be made unhappy” – this been, in all ages, the logic of the priest.

-Friedrich Nietzsche”
