The mind’s first step is to distinguish what is true from what is false. However, as soon as thought reflects on itself, what it first discovers is a contradiction. . . . To understand is, above all, to unify . . . [and] if thought discovered in the shimmering mirrors of phenomena eternal relations capable of summing them up in a single principle, then would be seen an intellectual joy of which the myth of the blessed would be but a ridiculous imitation. That nostalgia for unity, that appetite for the absolute, illustrates the essential impulse of the human drama.
Albert Camus, The Myth of Sisyphus
