Every time I hear a political speech or I read those of our leaders, I am horrified at having, for years, heard nothing which sounded human. It is always the same words telling the same lies. And the fact that men accept this, that the peopleโs anger has not destroyed these hollow clowns, strikes me as proof that men attribute no importance to the way they are governed; that they gamble โ yes, gamble โ with a whole part of their life and their so called 'vital interests.
Albert CamusMostly, I could tell, I made him feel uncomfortable. He didn't understand me, and he was sort of holding it against me. I felt the urge to reassure him that I was like everybody else, just like everybody else. But really there wasn't much point, and I gave up the idea out of laziness.
