It has no future

says pride
It is foolish
says caution
It is impossible
says experience
It is what it is
says love.”

“Hayat yaşamaya değmez. Aslına bakarsanız, insan ha otuzunda ölmüş ha yetmişinde, pek önemli değildi. Çünkü, her iki halde de pek doğal ki başka erkekler de başka kadınlar da yaşayacaklardı hem de binlerce yıl. Sözün kısası, hiçbir şey böylesine açık değildi. Şimdi de olsa yirmi yıl sonra da olsa yine bendim ölecek olan”
― Albert Camus, The Stranger
