When a war breaks out, people say: "It's too stupid; it can't last long." But though a war may well be "too stupid," that doesn't prevent its lasting. Stupidity has a knack of getting its way; as we should see if we were not always so much wrapped up in ourselves.
Albert CamusThe danger of lectures is that they create the illusion of teaching for teachers, and the illusion of learning for learners.
Albert Camus
