“'Human history, ' H.G. Wells once wrote, 'becomes more and more a race between education and catastrophe.' You and I cannot be indifferent to the outcome of that race.

“All that remains is a fate whose outcome alone is fatal. Outside of that single fatality of death, everything, joy or happiness, is liberty. A world remains of which man is the sole master.

It frolics-\-\-in myths, to be sure, but myths with no other depth than that of human suffering and, like it, inexhaustible. Not the divine fable that amuses and blinds, but the terrestrial face, gesture, and drama in which are summed up a difficult wisdom and an ephemeral passion.” MenWorldHumansFacesJoySufferingPassionDifficultLibertyFateDivineFlowerMastersDramaIllusionRemainsDepthBoundsMythOutcomesGesturesSoleMe AloneAnother WorldFablesEphemeralHuman SufferingFatalityAll That Remains Author:Albert Camus
