Random quote of the day: 

“Once he has reached the absurd and tries to live accordingly, a man always perceives that consciousness is the hardest thing in the world to maintain. Circumstances are almost always against it. He must live his lucidity in a world where dispersion is the rule.”

—Albert Camus, The Notebooks, 1942-1951 (tr. Justin O’Brien)

Random quote of the day:

“Fate will have it—and this has always been the case with me—that all the ‘outer’ aspects of my life should be accidental. Only what is interior has proved to have substance and a determining value. As a result, all memory of outer events has faded, and perhaps these ‘outer’ experiences were never so very essential anyhow, or were so only in that they coincided with phases of my inner development.”

—Carl Jung, letter to Aniela Jaffé, quoted in the Introduction to Memories, Dreams, Reflections
