Quote by Albert Camus

“Si le temps de l’histoire n’est pas fait du temps de la moisson, l’histoire n’est en effet qu’une ombre fugace et cruelle où l’homme n’a plus sa part. Qui se donne à cette histoire ne se donne à rien et à son tour n’est rien. Mais qui se donne au temps de sa vie, à la maison qu’il défend, à la dignité des vivants, celui-là se donne à la terre et en reçoit la moisson qui ensemence et nourrit à nouveau.”

Quote by Albert Camus
