"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.
They had thought with some reason
that there is no more dreadful
punishment than futile and hopeless
labor... But Sisyphus teaches the higher
fidelity that negates the gods and raises
rocks. The struggle itself toward
the heights is enough to fill a man's heart.
One must imagine Sisyphus happy."
                  -"The Myth of Sisyphus"
                     Albert Camus, 1940
