Camus on Morality
If someone told me to write a book on morality, it would have a hundred pages and ninety-nine of them would be blank. On the last page I would write, "I recognize only one duty and that is to love." And as far as everything else is concerned, I say no. Albert Camus, Notebooks
He's such a clever man. Though the book he describes is the kind of novelty you'd find in a Hallmark store, it would probably be more meaningful than ninety-nine percent of the "inspirational" books lining local bookstore shelves.
This is where David Dark and Sarah Masen transmit the occasional Hey Looky Here as well as a li'l broadside or three every so often. Rock the Casbah, party peoples. Seriously. Rock the Casbah
