“In this respect, our townsfolk were like everybody else, wrapped up in themselves; in other words, they were humanists: they disbelieved in pestilences. A pestilence isn't a thing made to man's measure; therefore we tell ourselves that pestilence is a mere bogy of the mind, a bad dream that will pass away.

― Albert Camus, The Myth of Sisyphus

“What he could bear in the waking world he could not by night and he sat awake for fear the dream would return.”
