More quotes by 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
I am no longer sure of anything. If I satiate my desires, I sin but I deliver myself from them if I refuse to satisfy them, they infect the whole soul.
Jean-Paul Sartre
That is exactly the writer's problem. What does literature stand for in a hungry world?
Jean-Paul Sartre
Existence is an imperfection.
Jean-Paul Sartre
The revolution you dream of is not ours. You don't want to change the world you want to blow it up.
Jean-Paul Sartre
My eyes feel all soft, all soft as flesh. I'm going to sleep.
Jean-Paul Sartre
We do not judge the people we love.
Jean-Paul Sartre
I consider Les Nourritures Terrestres as a frightening book: Look for God in no other place than everywhere. Go and tell that to a workman, an engineer!
Jean-Paul Sartre
I'm going to smile, and my smile will sink down into your pupils, and heaven knows what it will become.
Jean-Paul Sartre
Heroism is not to be won at the point of a pen.
Jean-Paul Sartre
I think [Alain Robbe-Grillet] a good writer, but he speaks to the comfortable bourgeoisie.
Jean-Paul Sartre
Better to have beasts that let themselves be killed than men who run away.
Jean-Paul Sartre
Anything, anything would be better than this agony of mind, this creeping pain that gnaws and fumbles and caresses one and never hurts quite enough.
Jean-Paul Sartre
At that time [1954], as a result of political events, I was deeply preoccupied by my relations with the Communist Party.
Jean-Paul Sartre
If you seek authenticity for authenticity's sake you are no longer authentic.
Jean-Paul Sartre
I will not be modest. Humble, as much as you like, but not modest. Modesty is the virtue of the lukewarm.
Jean-Paul Sartre
Man is fully responsible for his nature and his choices.
Jean-Paul Sartre
Who can exhaust a man? Who knows a man's resources?
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
I am alone in this white, garden-rimmed street. Alone and free. But this freedom is rather like death.
Jean-Paul Sartre
