More quotes by Jean-Paul Sartre
One cannot become a saint when one works sixteen hours a day.
Jean-Paul Sartre
emotion is first of all and in principle an accident
Jean-Paul Sartre
In wanting freedom we discover that it depends entirely on the freedom of others, and that the freedom of others depends on ours. . . I am obliged to want others to have freedom at the same time that I want my own freedom. I can take freedom as my goal only if I take that of others as a goal as well.
Jean-Paul Sartre
I know only one Church: it is the society of men.
Jean-Paul Sartre
The [Communist] Party has one objective: the creation of a socialist economy and one means: the utilization of the class struggle.
Jean-Paul Sartre
Absurd, irreducible nothing--not even a profound and secret delirium of nature--could explain [a tree root].
Jean-Paul Sartre
Man is always separated from what he is by all the breadth of the being which he is not. He makes himself known to himself from the other side of the world and he looks from the horizon toward himself to recover his inner being.
Jean-Paul Sartre
I discovered suddenly that alienation, exploitation of man by man, under-nourishment, relegated to the background metaphysical evil which is a luxury.
Jean-Paul Sartre
She suffers as a miser. She must be miserly with her pleasures, as well. I wonder if sometimes she doesn't wish she were free of this monotonous sorrow, of these mutterings which start as soon as she stops singing, if she doesn't wish to suffer once and for all, to drown herself in despair. In any case, it would be impossible for her: she is bound.
Jean-Paul Sartre
All-powerful god, who am I but the fear that I inspire in others?
Jean-Paul Sartre
Who can exhaust a man? Who knows a man's resources?
Jean-Paul Sartre
Sometimes the truth is too simple for intellectuals.
Jean-Paul Sartre
the worst part about being lied to is knowing you werent worth the truth
Jean-Paul Sartre
What do I care about Jupiter? Justice is a human issue, and I do not need a god to teach it to me.
Jean-Paul Sartre
There is no human nature, since there is no god to conceive it.
Jean-Paul Sartre
When the rich [and politically powerful] make war, it's the poor [and politically weak] who die.
Jean-Paul Sartre
All I can do is make the best of what I am, become accustomed to it, evaluate the possibilities, and take advantage of them the best I can.
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
One always dies too soon or too late. And yet, life is there, finished: the line is drawn, and it must all be added up. You are nothing other than your life.
Jean-Paul Sartre
A madman's ravings are absurd in relation to the situation in which he finds himself, but not in relation to his madness.
Jean-Paul Sartre
