Albert Camus Quotes About Weakness

• I love life - that’s my real weakness. I love it so much that I am incapable of imagining what is not life.

  Albert Camus

  Life, Real, Weakness

  Albert Camus (1957). “The fall”

• ...we rarely confide in those who are better than we. Rather, we are more inclined to flee their society. Most often, on the other hand, we confess to those who are like us and who share our weaknesses. Hence we don't want to improve ourselves and be bettered, for we should first have to be judged in default. We merely wish to be pitied and encouraged in the course we have chosen. In short, we should like, at the same time, to cease being guilty and yet not to make the effort of cleansing ourselves.

  Albert Camus
