“I am still someone who has been swimming against the current for a long time and who is waiting to find that flow where he will feel carried, where he will regain his breathing and his fresh muscles. I’m waiting for the tide.”

— Albert Camus to Maria Casarès, Correspondance, August 30, 1948 [#37]
