More quotes by Jean-Paul Sartre
I am no longer sure of anything. If I satiate my desires, I sin but I deliver myself from them if I refuse to satisfy them, they infect the whole soul.
Jean-Paul Sartre
There are two kinds of existentialist first, those who are Christian...and on the other hand the atheistic existentialists, among whom...I class myself. What they have in common is that they think that existence precedes essence, or, if you prefer, that subjectivity must be the turning point.
Jean-Paul Sartre
I can receive nothing more from these tragic solitudes than a little empty purity.
Jean-Paul Sartre
Nothingness lies coiled in the heart of being - like a worm.
Jean-Paul Sartre
There may be more beautiful times, but this one is ours.
Jean-Paul Sartre
Sometimes the truth is too simple for intellectuals.
Jean-Paul Sartre
Through the lack of attaching myself to words, my thoughts remain nebulous most of the time. They sketch vague, pleasant shapes and then are swallowed up I forget them almost immediately.
Jean-Paul Sartre
I will not be modest. Humble, as much as you like, but not modest. Modesty is the virtue of the lukewarm.
Jean-Paul Sartre
The world would get along very well without literature. It would get along even better without man.
Jean-Paul Sartre
Fascism is not defined by the number of its victims, but by the way it kills them.
Jean-Paul Sartre
I do not understand! I understand nothing! I cannot understand nor do I want to understand! I want to believe! To Believe!
Jean-Paul Sartre
The existentialist says at once that man is anguish.
Jean-Paul Sartre
One cannot become a saint when one works sixteen hours a day.
Jean-Paul Sartre
You are -- your life, and nothing else.
Jean-Paul Sartre
Man's existence precedes his essence
Jean-Paul Sartre
Before you come alive, life is nothing it 's up to you to give it a meaning, and value is nothing else but the meaning that you choose.
Jean-Paul Sartre
First all men must be able to become men by the improvement of their conditions of existence, so that a universal morality can be created. If I begin by saying to them: Thou shalt not lie, there is no longer any possibility of political action. What matters first is the liberation of man.
Jean-Paul Sartre
I was a neophyte in another world [in 1954].
Jean-Paul Sartre
Either the USSR was not the country of socialism, in which case socialism didn't exist anywhere and doubtless, wasn't possible: or else, socialism was that, this abominable monster, this police state, the power of beasts of prey.
Jean-Paul Sartre
In a country lacking leaders, in Africa, for instance, how could a native educated in Europe refuse to become a professor, even at the price of his literary vocation?
Jean-Paul Sartre
