More quotes by Jean-Paul Sartre
So that is what hell is. I would never have believed it. You remember: the fire and brimstone, the torture. Ah! the farce. There is no need for torture: Hell is other people.
Jean-Paul Sartre
My eyes feel all soft, all soft as flesh. I'm going to sleep.
Jean-Paul Sartre
it was odd, he thought, that a man could hate himself as though he were someone else.
Jean-Paul Sartre
The [Communist] Party has one objective: the creation of a socialist economy and one means: the utilization of the class struggle.
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
All I can do is make the best of what I am, become accustomed to it, evaluate the possibilities, and take advantage of them the best I can.
Jean-Paul Sartre
your judgement judges you and defines you
Jean-Paul Sartre
This desire [to write] is rather strange all the same and is not without a certain cracked quality.
Jean-Paul Sartre
My thought is me: that's why I can't stop. I exist because I think… and I can't stop myself from thinking. At this very moment - it's frightful - if I exist, it is because I am horrified at existing. I am the one who pulls myself from the nothingness to which I aspire.
Jean-Paul Sartre
It is meaningless that we are born, it is meaningless that we die.
Jean-Paul Sartre
emotion is first of all and in principle an accident
Jean-Paul Sartre
Why do you keep maintaining your ideas are right if you can't prove them?
Jean-Paul Sartre
Neither sex, without some fertilization of the complimentary characters of the other, is capable of the highest reaches of human endeavor.
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
A good hanging now and then -- that entertains folk in the provinces and robs death of its glamour.
Jean-Paul Sartre
We are possessed by the things we possess. When I like an object, I always give it to someone. It isn't generosity-it's only because I want others to be enslaved by objects, not me.
Jean-Paul Sartre
I tell you in truth: all men are Prophets or else God does not exist.
Jean-Paul Sartre
One cannot become a saint when one works sixteen hours a day.
Jean-Paul Sartre
Absurd, irreducible nothing--not even a profound and secret delirium of nature--could explain [a tree root].
Jean-Paul Sartre
I think [Alain Robbe-Grillet] a good writer, but he speaks to the comfortable bourgeoisie.
Jean-Paul Sartre
