Keith’s Quotes

“The very powerful and the very stupid have one thing in common. They don’t alter their views to fit the facts. They alter the facts to fit their views. Which can be uncomfortable if you happen to be one of the facts that needs altering.”

“he remarked that it was rather odd, the way all these rats were coming out of their holes to die.”
― Albert Camus, The Plague

“Hitherto people had merely grumbled at a stupid, rather obnoxious visitation; they now realized that this strange phenomenon, whose scope could not be measured and whose origins escaped detection, had something vaguely menacing about it.”
― Albert Camus, The Plague

“In this respect they were wrong, and their views obviously called for revision.”
― Albert Camus, The Plague

“The local press, so lavish of news about the rats, now had nothing to say. For rats died in the street; men in their homes. And newspapers are concerned only with the street.”
