Jean-Paul Sartre
It is meaningless that we are born, it is meaningless that we die.
Jean-Paul Sartre
Lord, you have cursed Cain and Cain’s children: thy will be done. You have allowed men’s hearts to be corrupted, that their intentions be rotten, that their actions putrefy and stink: thy will be done.
Jean-Paul Sartre
Ideas come in pairs and they contradict one another their opposition is the principal engine of reflection.
Jean-Paul Sartre
Therefore, in the nature of this will for freedom, which freedom itself implies, I may pass judgement on those who seek to hide from themselves the complete arbitrariness and the complete freedom of their existence.
Jean-Paul Sartre
Existence is not something which lets itself be thought of form a distance it must invade you suddenly, master you, weigh heavily on your heart like a great motionless beast - or else there is nothing at all.
Jean-Paul Sartre
I had spent my time counterfeiting eternity.
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
