Honesty, respectability, the “what-will-people-say”, the wisdom of nations, nothing means anything any more. Everything disappears before fear. Fear, eh, Caesonia, that noble sentiment, unallayed, pure and disinterested, one of those rare ones that get their nobility from the belly. - Albert Camus Attribution: Albert Camus (1913–1960), French-Algerian novelist, dramatist, philosopher. Gallimard (1958). Caligula in Caligula, act 2, sc. 5, Pléiade (1962).
