‘Indeed, as he heard the cries of delight rising from the city, Reiux remembered that this delight was always threatened. For knew what this Joyous crowd did not-that the plague bacillus never dies or disappears, that it can lie dormant for decades in furniture and linens, that it waits patiently in rooms, in basements, in trunks, among handkerchiefs and paperwork, and that perhaps the day would come when, for the sorrow and education of men, the plague would revive its rats and dispatch them to die in a happy city.’

One of my favorite books, Camus's The Plague proves its narrator's point that in times of pestilence there is more to admire in humanity than to despise. An ever-relevant tale of decency triumphing over catastrophe.
