Summary

This quote, from Albert Camus' "The Myth of Sisyphus," implies that no matter what obstacles or challenges we face in life, we have the power to overcome them through a sense of disregard or defiance.

Both my grandmothers had upright pianos, and I just knew how

Both my grandmothers had upright pianos, and I just knew how to play since I was a child. Nobody taught me. I sounded like a grown-up, and then I learned how to read music.
