Quote by Albert Camus

“Übrig bleibt ein Schicksal, bei dem nur das Ende unausweichlich ist. Abgesehen von diesem einzigen Verhängnis des Todes stellt alles andere, Freude oder Glück, Freiheit dar. Es bleibt eine Welt, deren einziger Herr der Mensch ist. Was ihn bannte, war die Illusion einer anderen Welt.”
