For those of us who have been thrown into hell, mysterious melodies and the torturing images of a vanished beauty will always bring us, in the midst of crime and folly, the echo of that harmonious insurrection which bears witness, throughout the centuries, to the greatness of humanity.
Albert Camus
Image
I have not stopped loving that which is sacred in this world.
Albert Camus
Image
Something must happen that is the reason for most human relationships. Something must happen even servitude in love, in war, ordeath.
