Random quote of the day:
“Literature. Be wary of that word. Don’t pronounce it too fast. If one took literature from great writers, one would remove what is most personal to them. Literature = nostalgia. Nietzsche’s superman, Dostoevsky’s abyss, Gide’s gratuitous act, etc. etc.”
—Albert Camus, The Notebooks, 1942-1951 (tr. Justin O’Brien)
