"Here, too, by the way, aren’t we on the water? On this flat, monotonous, interminable water whose limits are indistinguishable from those of the land? Is it credible that we shall ever reach Amsterdam? We shall never get out of this immense holy-water font. Listen. Don’t you hear the cries of invisible gulls? If they are crying in our direction, to what are they calling us?"

My first of Camus, certainly not the last... 4 stars ⭐



Fav quote:
"I've heard a man whose friend had been imprisoned and who slept on the floor of his room every night in order not to enjoy a comfort of which his friend had been deprived.
Who, cher monsieur, will sleep on the floor for us?"
