Philosophy, never daunted, rolls her Sisyphus stone to the very summit of the mountain and then, when victory seems assured, back it tumbles to the starting point. We spend our lives fighting to get people very slightly more stupid than ourselves to accept truths that the great men have always known. The boulder is the truth that the great men know by instinct, and the mountain is the stupidity of mankind. The Myth of Sisyphus (1942)[edit] The gods had condemned Sisyphus to ceaselessly rolling a rock to the top of a mountain, whence the stone would fall back of its own weight. One must imagine Sisyphus happy. Variant translation: The fight itself towards the summits suffices to fill a heart of man; it is necessary to imagine Sisyphus happy.	./cache/en-wikiquote-org-7561.html	./txt/en-wikiquote-org-7561.txt
