More quotes by Jean-Paul Sartre
My thought is me: that's why I can't stop. I exist because I think… and I can't stop myself from thinking. At this very moment - it's frightful - if I exist, it is because I am horrified at existing. I am the one who pulls myself from the nothingness to which I aspire.
Jean-Paul Sartre
A writer must refuse to allow himself to be transformed into an institution.
Jean-Paul Sartre
We do not know what we want and yet we are responsible for what we are - that is the fact.
Jean-Paul Sartre
She believed in nothing only her skepticism kept her from being an atheist.
Jean-Paul Sartre
Everything comes to us from others. To Be is to belong to someone.
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
A kiss without a moustache, they said then, is like an egg without salt I will add to it: and it is like Good without Evil.
Jean-Paul Sartre
It is disgusting -- Why must we have bodies?
Jean-Paul Sartre
I can receive nothing more from these tragic solitudes than a little empty purity.
Jean-Paul Sartre
People who live in society have learnt how to see themselves, in mirrors, as they appear to their friends. I have no friends: is that why my flesh is so naked?
Jean-Paul Sartre
It is meaningless that we are born, it is meaningless that we die.
Jean-Paul Sartre
It's just what people do when they're getting old, when they're sick of themselves and their life they think of money and take care of themselves.
Jean-Paul Sartre
As far as men go, it is not what they are that interests me, but what they can become.
Jean-Paul Sartre
Man's existence precedes his essence
Jean-Paul Sartre
Politics is a science. You can demonstrate that you are right and that others are wrong.
Jean-Paul Sartre
Like morality, literature needs to be universal. So that the writer must put himself on the side of the majority, of the two billion starving, if he wishes to be able to speak to all and be read by all. Failing that, he is at the service of a privileged class and, like it, an exploiter.
Jean-Paul Sartre
You are -- your life, and nothing else.
Jean-Paul Sartre
One could only damage oneself through the harm one did to others. One could never get directly at oneself.
Jean-Paul Sartre
All-powerful god, who am I but the fear that I inspire in others?
Jean-Paul Sartre
Il n'y a de réalité que dans l'action. (There is no reality except in action.)
Jean-Paul Sartre
