Albert Camus
We are living in the era of premeditation and the perfect crime. Our criminals are no longer helpless children who could plead love as their excuse.

Albert Camus
life is a story and god is author.life is absurd.I think so.
Albert Camus

Albert Camus

Albert Camus
After all manner of professors have done their best for us, the place we are to get knowledge is in books. The true university of these days is a collection of books.
