“This world has at least the truth of man, and our task is to provide its justifications
“This world has at least the truth of man, and our task is to provide its justifications against fate itself. And it has no justification but man; hence he must be saved if we want to save the idea we have of life. With your scornful smile you will ask me: what do you mean by saving man? And with all my being I shout to you that I mean not mutilating him and yet giving a chance to the justice that man alone can conceive.”Albert Camus, Resistance, Rebellion, and Death (Letters to a German Friend)[x] -- source link
