Albert Camus
Image
What's natural is the microbe. All the rest-heath, integrity, purity (if you like)-is a product of the human will, of a vigilance that must never falter. The good man, the man who infects hardly anyone, is the man who has the fewest lapses of attention.
Albert Camus
Image
But - I cannot make a choice. I have my own sorrow, but I suffer with him, too I share his pain. I understand all - that is my trouble.
Albert Camus
