Albert Camus quotes


Albert Camus was a French-Algerian philosopher, playwright, and novelist. Born in 1913, he is best known for his existentialist works that explore the absurdity and meaninglessness of life. His novel "The Stranger" and essay "The Myth of Sisyphus" are among his most celebrated works. Camus' belief in the importance of individualism and revolt against societal constraints is evident in his writings. He received the Nobel Prize in Literature in 1957 but tragically died in a car accident at the age of 46. Camus' influence on both literature and philosophy continues to inspire and challenge readers to question the human condition.
