Shaun David HutchinsonHow ugly we must look to them, spilling light into every dark corner to push back the shadows, blinding ourselves to the true beauty of emptiness.
About This Quote
This quote from The Outsider, a novel by Albert Camus, expresses the idea that there is beauty in simplicity. It also makes the point that we can find great beauty in emptiness if we look for it. In this modern world, where all things are supposed to be the best, the best is always the most advanced. This advanced technology is supposed to make our lives better, but it often does not because of its complexity and lack of simplicity.
We have come to expect the best because we have been taught that it should be simple. But what if it were not? What if a simpler way could make our lives better?
