Splash du Jour: Wednesday

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.
-- Albert Camus (1913-1960) –

On January 4, 1960, Camus was killed in an automobile accident while returning to Paris with his friend and publisher Michel Gallimard. He was only forty-six years old.
In 1957, he was awarded the Nobel Prize for Literature. Among his best-known novels are The Stranger (1942) and The Plague (1947).

Drive carefully.
And have a great Wednesday!
