Art

Albert Camus was a French writer and philosopher from the 1950's he is best known for his two books "The Stranger" and "The Plague"

"There is not a single true work of art that has not in the end added to the inner freedom of each person who has known and loved it."

Camus was a life long opponent of nihilism and this goes hand in hand with this quote as art is, according to Ayn Rand, a selective re-creation of reality according to an artist's metaphysical value-judgments. Without values art is simply a re-creation of the reality and values the artist has created and it would be nearly impossible for others to be affected by it as they couldn't relate to it.
