Quote by Albert Camus
l'homme se trouve devant l'irrationnel. Il sent en lui son désir de bonheur et de raison. L'absurde naît de cette confrontation entre l'appel humain et le silence déraisonnable du monde.
Summary
This quote, in English, translates to: "Man is faced with the irrational. He feels within himself the desire for happiness and reason. The absurd arises from the confrontation between the human appeal and the irrational silence of the world." This explanation suggests that humans constantly seek happiness and rationality, however, they are confronted with an irrational and senseless world. The quote highlights the existential struggle of trying to find meaning and purpose in life when faced with the inherent absurdity and lack of reason in the world.
