“Căci vie am fost,iar acum sunt moartă.Am dansat în castele goale,pe întuneric.Am pictat pe partea întunecată a lunii.Am privit soarele în ochi.Au apăsat pe mine grijile lumii și povara apelor adunate din lacrimile ei.Am ascultat îngerii rîzând.Am rostit ce nu se putea rosti.Mi-am dezlipt tatuajele de pe piele cu privirea.Mi-am sacrijelit testamentul pe spinarea diavolului și l-am ascultat cum gemea de plăcere.Ochii îmi sunt închiși și acum locuiesc în partea întunecată a omului.”

“My dear,
In the midst of hate, I found there was, within me, an invincible love.
In the midst of tears, I found there was, within me, an invincible smile.
In the midst of chaos, I found there was, within me, an invincible calm.
I realized, through it all, that…
In the midst of winter, I found there was, within me, an invincible summer.
And that makes me happy. For it says that no matter how hard the world pushes against me, within me, there’s something stronger – something better, pushing right back.
Truly yours,
Albert Camus”
I like this because only one part is usually quoted but the full quote has such symmetry.”
