Albert Camus
“C’est alors que tout a vacillé. La mer a charrié
un souffle épais et ardent. Il m’a semblé que le ciel s’ouvrait sur
toute son étendue pour laisser pleuvoir du feu. Tout mon être
s’est tendu et j’ai crispé ma main sur le revolver. La gâchette a
cédé, j’ai touché le ventre poli de la crosse et c’est là, dans le
bruit à la fois sec et assourdissant, que tout a commencé. J’ai
secoué la sueur et le soleil. J’ai compris que j’avais détruit
l’équilibre du jour, le silence exceptionnel d’une plage où j’avais
été heureux. Alors, j’ai tiré encore quatre fois sur un corps inerte où les balles s’enfonçaient sans qu’il y parût. Et c’était comme
quatre coups brefs que je frappais sur la porte du malheur”
Albert Camus, The Stranger

Patti Smith
“Images have their way of dissolving and then abruptly returning, pulling along the joy and pain attached to them like tin cans rattling from the back of an old-fashioned wedding vehicle.”
Patti Smith, M Train

Susan Sontag
“No "we" should be taken for granted when the subject is looking at other people's pain.”
Susan Sontag, Regarding the Pain of Others

Susan Sontag
“To designate a hell is not, of course, to tell us anything about how to extract people from that hell, how to moderate hell’s flames. Still, it seems a good in itself to acknowledge, to have enlarged, one’s sense of how much suffering caused by human wickedness there is in the world we share with others. Someone who is perennially surprised that depravity exists, who continues to feel disillusioned (even incredulous) when confronted with evidence of what humans are capable of inflicting in the way of gruesome, hands-on cruelties upon other humans, has not reached moral or psychological adulthood. No one after a certain age has the right to this kind of innocence, of superficiality, to this degree of ignorance, or amnesia.”
Susan Sontag, Regarding the Pain of Others

Susan Sontag
“Citizens of modernity, consumers of violence as spectacle, adepts of proximity without risk, are schooled to be cynical about the possibility of sincerity. Some people will do anything to keep themselves from being moved.”
Susan Sontag, Regarding the Pain of Others
