Quote by Albert Camus

Men are never convinced of your reasons, of your sincerity, of the seriousness of your sufferings, except by your death. So long as you are alive, your case is doubtful; you have a right only to their skepticism.

Men are never convinced of your reasons, of your sincerity,

Summary

This quote suggests that people often question and doubt the genuine intentions, sincerity, and depth of one's suffering and struggles, unless the person faces death. The belief here is that only through someone's ultimate sacrifice can others truly acknowledge the legitimacy of their experiences or convictions. While alive, individuals are left with the skepticism and scrutiny of others, as they have not yet provided the ultimate proof of their dedication or truth.
