Quote by Albert Camus

“Jedermann, selbst der Heilige, ist heute mobilisiert. Gerade das habe ich vielleicht am tiefsten empfunden. Mit jeder Form, die in den Schützengräben umkommt, mit jedem Strich, jeder Metapher und jedem Gebet, das vom Stahl zermalmt wird, verliert das Ewige eine Partie. Da ich mir bewusst bin, mich nicht von meiner Zeit trennen zu können, habe ich beschlossen, eins mit ihr zu sein. Nur deshalb mache ich vom Individuum so viel Aufhebens, weil es mir lächerlich und erniedrigt erscheint. Da ich weiß, dass keine Sache siegen wird, liebe ich die verlorenen”

She has kept some really old ones and, rereading them, she feels a nostalgia that is only intensified when she can no longer remember to what those obscure notes refer.
