“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.

The struggle itself toward the heights is enough to fill a man's heart. One must imagine Sisyphus happy.”
