About This Quote
There is something divine in mindless beauty, and Mersault was particularly responsive to it. Mersault is a character in the play "The Outsider" by Albert Camus. He has no feelings, no desires, and no affections. He doesn’t care about anything or anyone except for the sheer beauty of existence. “I love the look of the world; I love the sun; I love spring; I love summer; I love autumn; I love winter; I love things that grow; I love things that fly; I love things that sing; I love things that are still.” He speaks with great wisdom when he says that he loves life for its beauty, not for his own personal gain.
