Translating Camus
I'm translating passages from Le Malentendu and I'm quite perplexed by a lot of the grammar.
I'm stuck with:
'je suis de vous tenir en dehors de mes projets'
and
'j'ai d'humain n'est pas ce que j'ai de meilleur'
Hopefully someone here can help!

'je suis de vous tenir en dehors de mes projets' is that the whole of the sentence?
Is there any of it missing at the beginning?I am not familiar with a construction "je suis de " followed by an infinitive
'ce que j'ai d'humain n'est pas ce que j'ai de meilleur'
I think ce que is missing from your quote
=literally what I have that is human is not what I have that is best.
