The desert lay in wait, more infinite than God, no less remote.

About This Quote

The desert lay in wait, more infinite than God, no less remote. In this quote, Camus talks about the beauty of the Sahara Desert. The desert is a place that can be compared to God, because it also seems infinite. It seems to be beyond the reach of human endeavor and is just as inaccessible as God. The distance between man and God is so great that it can only be understood by looking at the desert.
