And never have I felt so deeply at one and the same time so detached from myself and so present in the world. - Albert Camus

The absurd does not liberate; it binds. It does not authorize all actions. "Everything is permitted" does not mean that nothing is forbidden.

"I conclude that all is well," says Oedipus, and that remark is sacred. It echoes in the wild and limited universe of man. It teaches that all is not, has not been, exhausted. It drives out of this world a god who had come into it with dissatisfaction and a preference for futile suffering. It makes of fate a human matter, which must be settled among men.

I do not have much liking for the too famous existential philosophy, and, to tell the truth, I think its conclusions false.
