« Find meaning. Distinguish melancholy
from sadness. Go out for a walk. It doesn’t have to be a romantic walk in the
park, spring at its most spectacular moment, flowers and smells and outstanding
poetical imagery smoothly transferring you into another world. It doesn’t have
to be a walk during which you’ll have multiple life epiphanies and discover
meanings no other brain ever managed to encounter. Do not be afraid of spending
quality time by yourself. Find meaning or don’t find meaning but “steal” some
time and give it freely and exclusively to your own self. Opt for privacy and
solitude. That doesn’t make you antisocial or cause you to reject the rest of
the world. But you need to breathe. And you need to be. »
Albert Camus
