“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»

Слід уявляти Сізіфа щасливим.

“One must imagine Sisyphus happy.”

You will never be happy if you continue to search for what happiness consists of. You will never live if you are looking for the meaning of life.

1) My first thought was to say Judy Blume for the 70s and 80s afab (I see some else did the same.) But that was only when I lived in white suburbia. When I moved to white rural US during middle school, nobody read any books and no one knew what I was talking about when I mentioned the books. :/ So, I suppose it‘s only for a certain group.

2) That said, the tagged book fits 2020. 😬

Reflections on a guillotine is in here. I just got that. I should‘ve checked.

Un malade a besoin de douceur, il aime a s‘appuyer sur quelque chose, c‘est bien naturel. - Albert Camus, La peste

#FoodandLit This is a book of philosophy and confessions. I don‘t think I was in the right headspace to read about a white, narcissistic, man this week. The writing style felt its 1950‘s. The character is contradictory and I‘ve had enough of that lately but Camus did have several quotes that made me stop and think.
I made Dutch Baby Pancakes and they were delicious. I‘d like to play around with some other flavors and order some stroop syrup 😋

Long short stories. Not too good short stories.

It‘s ok. I think I fell asleep a few times while reading, but can‘t honestly be sure. Very disorienting
