    semen’s, and I don’t
    see men’s - and I don’t
    know what it means.

  3. I shall keep on feeling less and less and remembering more and more, but what is memory if not the language of feeling, a dictionary of faces and days and smells which repeat themselves like the verbs and adjectives in a speech, sneaking in behind the thing itself, into the pure present, making us sad or teaching us vicariously until one’s self itself becomes a vicar, the backward-looking face opens its eyes wide, the real face slowly becomes dim as in ld pictures and Janus is suddenly any one of us.

  5. NOVEMBER 1939

    What one uses in war.
    (1) What everyone knows about.
    (2) The despair of those who don’t want to fight.
    (3) The pride of those whom nothing compelled to leave but who left in order to avoid being alone.
    (4) The hunger of men who enlist because they have lost their job
    (5) Many noble feelings like:
    (a) solidarity in suffering.
    (b) contempt that wants to remain silent.
    (c) the absence of hatred.

    It is all put to a despicable use and it all leads to death.

    —  Albert Camus, Notebook III
