ALBERT CAMUS
“In the depth of winter, I finally learned that within me there lay an invincible summer.”

LEWIS CARROLL
“I wonder if the snow loves the trees and fields, that it kisses them so gently? And then it covers them up snug, you know, with a white quilt; and perhaps it says, “Go to sleep, darlings, till the summer comes again.”

MARY OLIVER
“Snow was falling,
so much like stars
filling the dark trees
that one could easily imagine
its reason for being was nothing more
than prettiness.”

VICTOR HUGO
“Laughter is the sun that drives winter from the human face.”

HARUKI MURAKAMI

Albert Camus (1913-1960) was a French philosopher who, in 1957 at age 44, received the Nobel Prize for Literature — the second youngest ever to do so. (The youngest was Rudyard Kipling at age 42.) Camus’s “…views contributed to the rise of the philosophy known as absurdism. He wrote in his essay The Rebel that his whole life was devoted to opposing the philosophy of nihilism while still delving deeply into individual freedom.”
