Quote by Albert Camus
The world evades us because it becomes itself again. That stage scenery masked by habit becomes what it is. It withdraws at a distance from us.
Summary
This quote suggests that the world sometimes feels distant and elusive to us because we become so accustomed to its familiar patterns and routines. As our habits and perceptions mask the true essence of the world, it takes on a sense of separate existence, withdrawing from our immediate experience. The quote implies that by breaking free from our habitual ways of perceiving, we can potentially rediscover and engage with the world in a more meaningful and conscious way.
