“He [the writer] has no other claims but those which he shares with his comrades in arms: vulnerable but obstinate, unjust but impassioned for justice, doing his work without shame or pride in view of everybody, not ceasing to be divided between sorrow and beauty, and devoted finally to drawing from his double existence the creations that he obstinately tries to erect in the destructive movement of history.”
From Albert Camus' speech at the Nobel Banquet at the City Hall in Stockholm, December 10, 1957.
