Quote by Albert Camus

“Vivimos en la época de la premeditación y del crimen perfecto. Nuestros criminales ya no son aquellos jovenzuelos desarmados que invocaban la excusa del amor. Por el contrario, son adultos y su coartada es irrefutable: es la filosofía, que puede servir para todo, hasta para transformar a los criminales en jueces.”

Quote by Albert Camus

“Now, listen. I don’t know whether that conversation ever really happened back in Detroit—wherein Rayya’s loved ones formally “gathered together” to beg her to start drinking wine.

Perhaps starting with “Wait—a reverse intervention? What?” And perhaps ending with “Wait, tell me again why you want to drink wine even though you hate alcohol?” Certainly, somewhere in the middle of her story, I might have interrupted and asked, “Wait—can you explain to me why you want to hide this information from your recovery friends? Aren’t you the one who taught me that we’re only as sick as our secrets?” But my mind didn’t go in any of those directions. Instead, this is literally what I thought: Rayya is so much cooler than other people! The rules really don’t apply to her!”
