Quotes
《置身於苦難與陽光之間：加繆散文集》 ：《反抗者》末段 (頁223-24)：
.......在一個人終於誕生的時刻，必須留下時代和他青春的狂怒。弓在緊張狀態的頂點馬上將射出最沉重又最自由的一箭。http://hcbooks.blogspot.tw/2014/04/i-la-pensee-de-midi.html
"Thinking is not unifying or making the appearance familiar under the guise of a great principle. Thinking is leaning all over again how to see, directing one's consciousness, making of every image a privileged place". 
---- Albert Camus, "The Myth of Sisyphus" (1942)


In the depth of winter, I finally learned that within me there lay an invincible summer.
Don't walk behind me; I may not lead. Don't walk in front of me; I may not follow. Just walk beside me and be my friend.
I shall tell you a great secret, my friend. Do not wait for the last judgment, it takes place every day.
