“Suddenly he realizes that tomorrow will be the same, and, after tomorrow, all the other days. He is crushed by this irreparable discovery. It's ideas like this that kill one. Men kill themselves because they cannot stand them—or, if they are young, they turn them into epigrams.”
Albert Camus, “Irony”, The Wrong Side and the Right Side (1937)
i wish albert camus had a merch

"We must mend what has been torn apart, make justice imaginable again in a world so obviously unjust, give happiness a meaning once more..."
from Lyrical and Critical essays by Albert Camus
camus was so gorgeous, wasn't him? and had such a strong personality. innocent tho, an idealistic. you can easily fall in love with him just by reading about his history.
(yes, it's one of my inspirations if you couldn't tell already!) 🤍🌧
