The quote represents Camus view of life: he was an existentialist, but also an absurdist: he believed that life really does not have any meaning at all, and that all humans can do is try to deal with life as they live.

Camus had similar views to fellow existentialist philosophers and writers like Jean-Paul Sartre and Gabriel Marcel.
