Albert Camus Original title L'Été (French, 1954)

“There is merely bad luck in not being loved; there is misfortune in not loving.”

Summer (1954), Return to Tipasa
Context: There is merely bad luck in not being loved; there is misfortune in not loving. All of us, today, are dying of this misfortune. For violence and hatred dry up the heart itself; the long fight for justice exhausts the love that nevertheless gave birth to it.
