Jean-Paul Sartre
To know what life is worth you have to risk it once in a while.
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
This then is the age of reason.
Jean-Paul Sartre
I think [Alain Robbe-Grillet] a good writer, but he speaks to the comfortable bourgeoisie.
Jean-Paul Sartre
I had spent my time counterfeiting eternity.
Jean-Paul Sartre

Jean-Paul Sartre
