The Plague | Albert Camus
post image

“Упродовж історії було стільки ж епідемій, скільки й війн; та все одно вони щоразу застають людей зненацька”.
— Альбер Камю, «Чума»

«Те, що правдиве для всіх лих у світі, правдиве і для чуми: вона змушує людей перевершувати самих себе».
— Чума

«Єдиний спосіб боротися з чумою — це порядність».
— Альбер Камю «Чума»

IriDas I read The Plague after 2020. I‘m glad; because I would have embarrassed myself before by thinking “we would never react like that, we‘re smarter than that now.” 🤦🏼‍♂️ 5mo
YanaMedvetska @IriDas Absolutely agree. I used to think we‘d learned from history. Reading The Plague after living through a real one was humbling — it felt less like fiction and more like a mirror🫣 5mo

My favourite, and I love the ambiguity over the interpretation (I rarely agree with historians when it comes to most topics on literature and poetry, and this time is no different) 🤍🤎.

“Fidelity‘s value can be weighed only by first weighing the object toward which it flows. As Vladimir Jankélévitch concludes, “Faithfulness to stupidity is yet one more stupidity.” Fidelity to one‘s political party at the cost of loyalty to one‘s humanity is not fidelity, but most often betrayal.”

Graywacke And these past four years.... great quote! 5y
Faibka @Graywacke yes! That was exactly what I thought of when I read this quote. (edited) 5y

“The misery and greatness of this world: it offers no truths, but only objects for love. Absurdity is king, but love saves us from it.”
Yes, I‘m a fan 😁

Lcsmcat @Leftcoastzen My husband is reading it right now. He was a mean drunk! 6y
Leftcoastzen Oh dear! 😬Love his music. 6y
Lcsmcat @Leftcoastzen We can separate the art from the artist. The quote my husband just read to me included him going into his hostesses closet and urinating on all her shoes. 😳 6y
Leftcoastzen Oh, wow, pretty darned rude. 6y
batsy Be still my heart! Those ML editions 😍 6y
