    " our task of man is to find the few formulas that will assuage the infinite anguish of free

    souls. We have to sew up


    what is torn, to make justice imaginable in a world so obviously unfair, meaningful happiness for people poisoned by the
    misery of the century. Naturally, it's a superhuman task. But we call superhuman the tasks that men take long to accomplish,
    that's all ".

    - Albert Camus, Almond Trees (Summer, 1954)
