It is not true that the heart wears out - Albert Camus -

“When you are sorrowful look again in your heart,
and you shall see that in truth you are weeping for that which has been your delight.”
- Kahlil Gibran-

Those who prefer their principles over their happiness, they refuse to be happy outside the conditions they seem to have attached to their happiness. - Camus -

No, … it is not humiliating to be Unhappy. 

Physical suffering is sometimes humiliating, but the suffering of being cannot be, it is life. … 

What you must do now is nothing more than live like everybody else. 

You deserve, by what you are, a happiness, a fullness that few people know. 

Yet today this fullness is not dead, it is a part of life and, to its credit, it reigns over you whether you want it to or not. 

But in the coming days you must live alone, with this hole, this painful memory.

 

This lifelessness that we all carry inside of us — by us, I mean to say those who are not taken to the height of happiness, and who painfully remember another kind of happiness that goes beyond the memory.

Sometimes, for violent minds, the time that we tear off for work, that is torn away from time, is the best. An unfortunate passion.

It is not true that the heart wears out — but the body creates this illusion.

Those who prefer their principles over their happiness, they refuse to be happy outside the conditions they seem to have attached to their happiness. 

If they are happy by surprise, they find themselves disabled, unhappy to be deprived of their unhappiness.
