More quotes by Jean-Paul Sartre
A pale reflection of myself wavers in my consciousness...and suddenly the “I” pales, pales, and fades out.
Jean-Paul Sartre
I think that is the big danger in keeping a diary: you exaggerate everything.
Jean-Paul Sartre
There is no book of mine that I reject. That does not mean that I find them good.
Jean-Paul Sartre
Words There is no good father, that's the rule. Don't lay the blame on men but on the bond of paternity, which is rotten. To beget children, nothing better to have them, what iniquity!
Jean-Paul Sartre
You take souls for vegetables.... The gardener can decide what will become of his carrots but no one can choose the good of others for them.
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
I think [Alain Robbe-Grillet] a good writer, but he speaks to the comfortable bourgeoisie.
Jean-Paul Sartre
No finite point has meaning without an infinite reference point.
Jean-Paul Sartre
To choose not to choose is still to act.
Jean-Paul Sartre
Is there really nothing, nothing left of me?
Jean-Paul Sartre
I am neither virgin nor priest enough to play with the inner life.
Jean-Paul Sartre
We only become what we are by the radical and deep-seated refusal of that which others have made of us.
Jean-Paul Sartre
What I lacked [in La Nausee] was a sense of reality. I have changed since. I have slowly learned to experience reality.
Jean-Paul Sartre
Better a good journalist than a poor assassin.
Jean-Paul Sartre
I must be without remorse or regrets as I am without excuse for from the instant of my upsurge into being, I carry the weight of the world by myself alone without help, engaged in a world for which I bear the whole responsibility without being able, whatever I do, to tear myself away from this responsibility for an instant.
Jean-Paul Sartre
Perception is naturally surpassed toward action better yet, it can be revealed only in and through projects of action. The world is revealed as an always future hollow, for we are always future to ourselves.
Jean-Paul Sartre
A madman's ravings are absurd in relation to the situation in which he finds himself, but not in relation to his madness.
Jean-Paul Sartre
What then did you expect when you unbound the gag that muted those black mouths? That they would chant your praises? Did you think that when those heads that our fathers had forcibly bowed down to the ground were raised again, you would find adoration in their eyes?
Jean-Paul Sartre
Once we know and are aware, we are responsible for our action and our inaction. We can do something about it or ignore it. Either way, we are still responsible.
Jean-Paul Sartre
My pessimism has never been flabby.
Jean-Paul Sartre
