which

This point above reminded me of something Camus, another Noble Nobeliste,
once said:

"Je suis pessimiste quant a la destinee humaine, mais optimiste quant a
l'homme"

<winking at Henry M, who loves it when I talk francais>

Rough trans: I am a pessimist about human destiny, but an optimist about
the destiny of man. 

Ce decrit TRP, a mon avis.
