| ~ Attributed to Senator BOIES PENROSE.—Francis T. Plimpton, speech, quoted in Reader’s Digest, June 1958, p. 142.

| Quote of the moment |
| I understand the meaning of one being "open" as being like an open door; it can open very easily, without difficulty. "Free" is also the same. As a result of being free and open, the more you receive new ideas, it makes you want to give out more of your energy. That way, each helps the other. It is very useful, very necessary; especially these days. |

| Quote of the moment |
| I can perform absurd work, choose the creative attitude rather than another. But an absurd attitude, if it is to remain so, must remain aware of its gratuitousness. So it is with the work of art. If the commandments of the absurd are not respected, if the work does not illustrate divorce and revolt, if it sacrifices to illusions and arouses hope, it ceases to be gratuitous. I can no longer detach myself from it. My life may find a meaning in it, but that is trifling. It ceases to be that exercise in detachment and passion which crowns the splendor and futility of a man's life. |
| ~ The Myth of Sisyphus, Absurd Creation, Philosophy and Fiction, Albert Camus (1913 - 1960) ~ |
