Jean-Paul Sartre
Better to have beasts that let themselves be killed than men who run away.
Jean-Paul Sartre
I wrote in Les Mots that I have often thought against myself. That sentence has not been understood either. Critics have seen in it a confession of masochism. But that is how one should think: revolting against everything inculcated'' that one may have within oneself.
Jean-Paul Sartre
Once liberty has exploded in the soul of a man, the gods can do nothing against that man.
Jean-Paul Sartre
Once you hear the details of victory, it is hard to distinguish it from a defeat.
Jean-Paul Sartre
A writer must refuse to allow himself to be transformed into an institution.
Jean-Paul Sartre
