“The desire for possession is insatiable, to such a point that it can survive even love itself. To love, therefore, is to sterilize the person one loves.”

Albert Camus was a French-Algerian philosopher and novelist of the mid-20th century. He is best known for his existentialist writings, including *The Stranger* and *The Myth of Sisyphus*, which explore absurdity, freedom, and moral responsibility. His essays and novels continue to influence discussions on ethics and human existence.
