“It always seemed to me that our fellow citizens had two passions: ideas and fornication. Without rhyme or reason, so to speak. (…) I sometimes think of what future historians will think of us. A single sentence will suffice for modern man: He fornicated and read the papers. After that rigorous definition the subject will be, if I may say so, exhausted.” — Albert Camus
