Albert CamusThere's the risk of being loved...and that would keep me from being happy.
About This Quote
In our modern society, where most people are over-analytical, most of them have the tendency to analyze the relationship they are in. They keep thinking about it and rethinking it. They want to find out if there is something wrong with the relationship. They look at other relationships and compare them to their own.
They even try to understand why people like them or do not like them. Being loved is one of the best feelings in the world, but people who are afraid of being loved cannot be happy because they would always be thinking about the relationship they are in. This quote implies that while loving someone is a wonderful feeling, it can also be a burden for that person.
