We rarely confide in those who are better than we are.
Albert Camus

When you have really exhausted an experience you always reverence and love it.
Albert Camus

Albert Camus

Without work, all life goes rotten. But when work is soulless, life stifles and dies.
Albert Camus

You are forgiven for your happiness and your successes only if you generously consent to share them.
Albert Camus

Albert Camus

You will never be happy if you continue to search for what happiness consists of. You will never live if you are looking for the meaning of life.
Albert Camus

Your successes and happiness are forgiven you only if you generously consent to share them.
Albert Camus
