Albert Camus Quotes
Balzac Once
terminated A Long Conversation About Politics And The Fate Of The World By Saying: "And Now Let Us Get
back To Serious Matters," Meaning That He Wanted To Talk About His Novels. The Incontestable Importance
of The World Of The Novel, Our Insistence, In Fact, On Taking Seriously The Innumerable Myths With Which
we Have Been Provided For The Last Two Centuries By The Genius Of Writers, Is Not Fully Explained By The
desire To Escape. Romantic Activities Undoubtedly Imply A Rejection Of Reality. But This Rejection Is Not A
mere Escapist Flight, And Might Be Interpreted As The Retreat Of The Soul Which, According To Hegel, Creates
for Itself, In Its Disappointment, A Fictitious World In Which Ethics Reigns Alone. The Edifying Novel,
however, Is Far From Being Great Literature; And The Best Of All Romantic Novels, Paul Et Virginie, A Really
heartbreaking Book, Makes No Concessions To Consolation.
