Live to the point of tears
Camus doesn't dissapoint, even when it's just his thoughts, quotes and random things written down. I tabbed about every second page, because every thought of his is brilliant. Live, laugh, Camus.

despair is a feeling, and not a permanent condition. you cannot stay on in despair. and feelings must give way to a clear view of things.
it would feel strange to rate someone’s diary… but i really enjoyed this…. i love camus and this was just so fascinating…! shout out to the internet archive for this one

«Ο άνθρωπος δεν θα μπορούσε να ζήσει, στερημένος από καθετί αμαρτωλό. Θα ζούσε όμως πολύ καλά στερημένος από καθετί ιερό»

Reading the personal writings of a writer always gives one deeper insight into their identity as an individual. This collection was no different; by the end of the book, the reader truly grasps a more holistic image of the passionate and pensive soul that was Albert Camus. As one leaves through the pages, one may encounter beautiful pieces of lyrical prose, the incipience of future renowned novels, inspiring passages of world literature, and much more. I found myself entranced and utterly fascinated by the diversity of these lines in passing; for those wishing to better understand who Camus was as a person, this book is a must-read.

A fascinating look into the mind of the young Camus. Essential reading for the absurdists among us.
