Go Absurd 98 – Why Bother to Bother?

 

“…because this blog* is absurd, I love it; because it is useless, I want to give it away; and because wanting to give it to you serves no purpose, I give it to you…”

(Fernando Pessoa, The Book of Disquiet)

*book (in the original quote from Pessoa)


Quote of the Day


“To work and create 'for nothing', to sculpture in clay, to know that one's creation has no future, to see one's work destroyed in a day while being aware that fundamentally this has no more importance than building for centuries -- this is the difficult wisdom that absurd thought sanctions. Performing these two tasks simultaneously, negating on one hand and magnifying on the other, is the way open to the absurd creator. He must give the void its colors.”

(ALBERT CAMUS, The Myth of Sisyphus and Other Essays)
