59. Albert Camus, La Peste (Paris: Gallimard, 1947). Untranslated, the passage reads: "Eh bien, moi, j'en ai assez des gens qui meurent pour une idée. Je ne crois pas à l'héroisme, je sais que c'est facile et j'ai appris que c'était meurtrier. Ce qui m'intéresse, c'est qu'on vive et qu'on meure de ce qu'on aime."
