Quote of the day by Albert Camus: 'One must imagine Sisyphus happy'

Albert Camus wrote 'One must imagine Sisyphus happy' in his 1942 essay The Myth of Sisyphus during Nazi occupation of France.

The phrase uses the Greek myth of Sisyphus, who was punished by the gods to eternally push a boulder up a mountain only for it to roll back down.

Camus argues that accepting life's absurdity allows one to find freedom and meaning in the struggle itself, not in an external reward.
