Sometimes it is easier to see clearly into the liar than into the man who tells the truth. Truth, like light, blinds. Falsehood, on the contrary, is a beautiful twilight that enhances every object.”
― Albert Camus, The Fall

― Albert Camus, The Fall

“I only want to live in peace, plant potatoes and dream!”
