“The world always says the same thing. And in that patient truth which proceeds from star to star is established a freedom that releases us from ourselves and from others, as in that other patient truth which proceeds from death to death.”

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.
