Albert Had No Idea of What Was Coming

 We live in a time when men, driven by mediocre ferocious ideologies, are becoming used to being ashamed of everything. Ashamed of themselves, ashamed to be happy, to love and to create . . .. So we have to feel guilty. We are being dragged before the secular confessional, the worst of all.

- Albert Camus, Actuelles. Écrits politiques, 1948
