Quote of the moment

One of them, a conqueror but in the realm of mind, a Don Jaun but of knowledge, an actor but of the intelligence, knows this better than anyone: "You nowise deserve a privilege on earth and in heaven for having brought to perfection your dear little meek sheep; you nonetheless continue to be at best a ridiculous dear little sheep with horns and nothing more - even supposing that you do not burst with vanity and do not create a scandal by posing as a judge."

~ The Myth of Sisyphus, The Absurd Man, Conquest, Albert Camus (1913 - 1960) ~
