Quote by Albert Camus
Great ideas come into the world as quietly as doves. Perhaps then , if we listen attentively we shall hear, among the uproar of empires and nations, the faint fluttering of wings, the gentle stirrings of life and hope. Some will say this hope lies in a nation; others in a man. I believe rather that it is awakened, revived, nourished by millions of solitary individuals whose deeds and works every day negate frontiers and the crudest implications of history. Each and every one, on the foundations of their own suffering and joy builds for all.
Summary
This quote expresses the notion that great ideas, hope, and progress are often not the result of grand gestures or dramatic events. Instead, they emerge quietly and almost unnoticed, much like the peaceful flight of doves. Amidst the chaos and noise of powerful empires and nations, the potential for positive change lies within the actions and contributions of countless individuals. It suggests that hope is not solely dependent on a nation or a single individual, but rather on the collective efforts of ordinary people who, through their own experiences and achievements, work towards a better future for all.
