Existentialism

“I put my fingers into existence and it smells of nothing. Where am I and who am I? How come I am here? What is this thing called ‘world’? What does this world mean? Who is it that lured me into this thing and now leaves me there? How did I come into this world? Why I was not consulted, but thrust into the ranks, as if I was a kidnapper, a dealer in the souls.” ~ Saran Kierkegaard, Father of Existentialism

Albert Camus

But in the end one needs more courage to live than to kill himself. ~ Albert Camus

Charles Dickens

It was the best of times, it was the worst of times, it was the age of wisdom, it was the age of foolishness, it was the epoch of belief, it was the epoch of incredulity, it was the season of Light, it was the season of Darkness, it was the spring of hope, it was the winter of despair, we had everything before us, we had nothing before us, we were all going direct to Heaven, we were all going direct the other way. ~ Charles Dickens
