Albert Camus

"Autumn is a second spring when every leaf is a flower."
This sentence/quote really stuck out to me not only because it's beautiful and simple, but also because Camus manages to convey that any situation can be better when one changes their perspective. Camus uses metaphor twice in the sentence, when he says Autumn is a second spring and also when he says every leaf is a flower. He doesn't go into "why" this is true; he just says it.  Autumn is the time when nature begins to "die", whereas spring is the season wherein nature rebirths itself. The quote also brings to mind that a situation may seem somewhat negative, but could be something else entirely. 
"Love is pain when every hug is a sob." My imitation doesn't work exactly like Camus', but it does use ideas that are somewhat opposite as well as the similar usage of metaphor.
