If Associate in Nursing anguish still clutches Maine, it’s after I feel this impalpable moment slip through my fingers like quicksilver… At the instant, my whole kingdom is of this world. This sun and these shadows, this heat and this cold rising from the depths of the air: why marvel if one thing is dying or if men suffer, since everything is written on this window wherever the sun sheds its lots as a acknowledgment to my pity? I will say and in an exceedingly moment I shall say that what counts is to be human and easy. No, what counts is to be true, and so everything fits in, humanity and ease. once am I more true than after I am the world? My cup brims over before I even have time to want. Eternity is there and that i hoped for it. What I would like for now could be now not happiness however merely awareness."
Albert Camus
