More quotes by 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 will take it all: tongs, molten lead, prongs, garrotes, all that burns, all that tears, I want to truly suffer. Better one hundred bites, better the whip, vitriol, than this suffering in the head, this ghost of suffering which grazes and caresses and never hurts enough.
Jean-Paul Sartre
The For-itself, in fact, is nothing but the pure nihilation of the In-itself it is like a hole of being at the heart of Being.
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
Generosity is nothing else than a craze to possess. All which I abandon, all which I give, I enjoy in a higher manner through the fact that I give it away. To give is to enjoy possessively the object which one gives.
Jean-Paul Sartre
Fascism is not defined by the number of its victims, but by the way it kills them.
Jean-Paul Sartre
There are two ways of destroying a people. Either condemn them en bloc or force them to repudiate the leaders they adopted. The second is the worse.
Jean-Paul Sartre
When rich people fight wars with one another, poor people are the ones to die.
Jean-Paul Sartre
The consciousness that says 'I am' is not the consciousness that thinks.
Jean-Paul Sartre
I am responsible for everything... except my very responsibility.
Jean-Paul Sartre
Intellectuals cannot be good revolutionaries they are just good enough to be assassins.
Jean-Paul Sartre
Freedom is existence, and in it existence precedes essence.
Jean-Paul Sartre
To know what life is worth you have to risk it once in a while.
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 meaningless that we are born, it is meaningless that we die.
Jean-Paul Sartre
I had dreamed my life for nearly fifty years (I am about to be fifty-nine). But, you see, there are two tones in Les Mats: the echo of this condemnation and a mitigation of that severity.
Jean-Paul Sartre
What's done at night belongs to the night. In the daytime you don't talk about it.
Jean-Paul Sartre
Abjection is a methodological conversion, like Cartesian doubt and Husserlian epoche: it establishes the world as a closed system which consciousness regards from without, in the manner of divine understanding.
Jean-Paul Sartre
One should commit no stupidity twice, the variety of choice is, in the end, large enough.
Jean-Paul Sartre
For common minds have an ugly ability to perceive in the deepest and richest saying nothing but their own everyday opinion.
Jean-Paul Sartre
