“There is in me an anarchy and frightful disorder. Creating makes me die a thousand deaths, because it means making order, and my entire being rebels against order. But without it I would die, scattered to the winds.”

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.
