“Marthe came to see Mersault and said with a sigh: ‘Sometimes there are days when you’d like to change places with him. But sometimes it takes more courage to live than to shoot yourself.”

“Two things that are each complete, yet cannot exist without each other. Things which can never be separated, yet can never be together. Like life, existence, light. And shadow, nothingness, death. For each to exist, for us to remain ourselves, there is something akin to a boundary-- a wall, a barrier. That allows those two halves of a whole to forever stay apart. Avoidance is bliss. To meet is to cause each other unhappiness. To cause strife and suffering. Just like it did for us. That may simply be the fate of this world. But if you meet and can accept that suffering, the two may finally become one. In the end that may be the curse.”

“It doesn't matter whether wishes come true or not, but I believe wishing for something in and of itself has merit. Regardless of whether or not it's possible to make it come true, I think it's good to understand yourself and what you wish for. If you don't know what you want to be like and what you'd like to see happen, your life will be filled with doubt.”
