I was paraphrasing a part of Camus's "The Myth of Sisyphus". (The Myth of Sisyphus is the myth of the man condemned by the Gods to ceaselessly push a rock up a mountain and watch it roll back to the valley below.) Camus finds a parallel between our own futile existence and the ceaseless, pointless labor of Sisyphus. He concludes that man, like Sisyphus, must realize the absurdity of their situation and accept it - only then will they be happy ("we must imagine Sisyphus to be happy")
