An Invincible Summer

March 20, 2013 By Debra Pearlstein 20 Comments

During another of our New England blizzards, in the midst of snow, sleet and icy temperatures, these arrived this morning.  I thought of Camus.

In the midst of hate, I found there was, within me, an invincible love.
In the midst of tears, I found there was, within me, an invincible smile.
In the midst of chaos, I found there was, within me, an invincible calm.

I realized, through it all, that…

In the midst of winter, I found there was, within me, an invincible summer.

And that makes me happy. For it says that no matter how hard the world pushes against me, within me, there’s something stronger – something better, pushing right back.

– Albert Camus, The Stranger

    I was first introduced to Albert Camus in college…I still remember that book…and some great quotes from it. Thanks for sharing and bringing that memory back.
