Heroism is not to be won at the point of a pen.
Jean-Paul Sartre
The universe remains dark. We are animals struck by catastrophe.
Jean-Paul Sartre
Man is fully responsible for his nature and his choices.
Jean-Paul Sartre
To keep hope alive one must, in spite of all mistakes, horrors, and crimes, recognize the obvious superiority of the socialist camp.
Jean-Paul Sartre
I am alone in this white, garden-rimmed street. Alone and free. But this freedom is rather like death.
Jean-Paul Sartre
I am not virtuous. Our sons will be if we shed enough blood to give them the right to be.
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
An individual chooses and makes himself.
Jean-Paul Sartre
What I ask of [the writer] is not to ignore the reality and the fundamental problems that exist. The world's hunger, the atomic threat, the alienation of man, I am astonished that they do not color all our literature.
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
You are -- your life, and nothing else.
Jean-Paul Sartre
Imagination is not an empirical or superadded power of consciousness, it is the whole of consciousness as it realizes its freedom.
Jean-Paul Sartre
the worst part about being lied to is knowing you werent worth the truth
Jean-Paul Sartre
I have always been happy. Even if I had been more honest with regard to myself at that moment I should still have written La Nausee.
Jean-Paul Sartre
Everything is gratuitous, this garden, this city and myself. When you suddenly realize it, it makes you feel sick and everything begins to drift . . . that's nausea.
Jean-Paul Sartre
Criminals together. We're in hell, my little friend, and there's never any mistake there. People are not damned for nothing.
Jean-Paul Sartre
It is the same: a chosen one is a man whom God's finger crushes against the wall.
Jean-Paul Sartre
Torture is senseless violence, born in fear... torture costs human lives but does not save them. We would almost be too lucky if these crimes were the work of savages: the truth is that torture makes torturers.
Jean-Paul Sartre
Originally, poetry creates the myth, while the prose-writer draws its portrait.
Jean-Paul Sartre
In Les Mots I explain the origin of my madness, of my neurosis. This analysis may help the young who dream of writing.
Jean-Paul Sartre
