I have realized that we all have plague, and I have lost my peace. And today I am still trying to find it; still trying to understand all those others and not to be the enemy of anyone. I only know that one must do what one can to cease being plague-stricken, and that's the only way in which we can hope for some peace or, failing that, a decent death. This, and only this, can bring relief to men and, if not save them, at least do them the least harm possible and even, sometimes, a little good. .Albert Camus
About This Quote
Albert Camus stated, "I have realized that we all have plague, and I have lost my peace. And today I am still trying to find it; still trying to understand all those others and not to be the enemy of anyone. I only know that one must do what one can to cease being plague-stricken, and that's the only way in which we can hope for some peace or, failing that, a decent death." It is very difficult to think of the word plague without thinking of sickness. We all know that it is our job to try to prevent any sickness or injury before it happens.
It is also our job to try to prevent illness or injury after it happened. At times we are ill and at other times someone close to us is ill.
