“An intellectual is someone whose mind watches itself.”
— Albert Camus

Simplified Meaning:
This quote means that an intellectual person constantly thinks about their own thoughts. They are always aware of what they are thinking and why they are thinking it. It's like having a part of your own mind that observes and analyzes another part of your mind. Imagine you are reading a book, and as you read, you not only understand the words but also think about your reactions to them, questioning why you find a part interesting or confusing. In life, this can help you make better decisions because you understand your own reasoning and emotions better. This self-awareness can guide you to act more thoughtfully and wisely in different situations.
