Famous quotes containing the words irish and/or times:
“Concurring hands divide
flax for damask

has the silvered chamois-leather
water-tightness of a
skin.”

“I shook off the sweat and the sun. I understood that I had destroyed the balance of the day, the exceptional silence of a beach where I had been happy. Then I shot four more times at an inert body which the bullets penetrated without appearing so. And it was like four brief knocks that I struck on the door of misfortune.”
—Albert Camus (1913–1960)
