I draw from the absurd three consequences: my revolt, my freedom, and my passion.

— Albert Camus, in a 1945 interview, cited by Maria Popova at The Marginalian. Camus’s point is that acknowledging life’s absurdity isn’t a license for despair — it’s the precondition for revolt, freedom, and passion. The interview pre-dates The Myth of Sisyphus’s reissue but sits in the same conceptual neighborhood.
