…how could I, fool that I am, go on sitting in my office, or here at home, instead of leaping onto a train with my eyes shut and opening them only when I am with you?

"The first progressive step for a mind overwhelmed by the strangeness of things is to realize that this feeling of strangeness is shared with all men and that the human reality, in its entirety, suffers from the distance between itself and the world. The malady experienced by a single man becomes a collective plague. In our daily trials, rebellion plays the same role as does the "cogito" in the realm of thought: it is the first clue. But this clue lures the individual from his solitude. It is the common ground on which every man bases his first values. I rebel—therefore we exist.”

Albert Camus, "The Rebel", 1951
