More quotes by 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
Fear? If I have gained anything by damning myself, it is that I no longer have anything to fear.
Jean-Paul Sartre
Either the USSR was not the country of socialism, in which case socialism didn't exist anywhere and doubtless, wasn't possible: or else, socialism was that, this abominable monster, this police state, the power of beasts of prey.
Jean-Paul Sartre
In a country lacking leaders, in Africa, for instance, how could a native educated in Europe refuse to become a professor, even at the price of his literary vocation?
Jean-Paul Sartre
Generosity is nothing else than a craze to possess. All which I abandon, all which I give, I enjoy in a higher manner through the fact that I give it away. To give is to enjoy possessively the object which one gives.
Jean-Paul Sartre
The poor don't know that their function in life is to exercise our generosity.
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
The universe remains dark. We are animals struck by catastrophe.
Jean-Paul Sartre
One could only damage oneself through the harm one did to others. One could never get directly at oneself.
Jean-Paul Sartre
Ah! yes, I know: those who see me rarely trust my word: I must look too intelligent to keep it.
Jean-Paul Sartre
I entered the Communist Party because its cause was just and I will leave it when it ceases to be just.
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
The [Communist] Party has one objective: the creation of a socialist economy and one means: the utilization of the class struggle.
Jean-Paul Sartre
Being is. Being is in-itself. Being is what it is.
Jean-Paul Sartre
[Andre] Gide can say it to me: it is a writer's morality only addressed to a few privileged people. For that reason it no longer interests me.
Jean-Paul Sartre
Man's existence precedes his essence
Jean-Paul Sartre
Who can exhaust a man? Who knows a man's resources?
Jean-Paul Sartre
It is not a matter of indifference whether we like oysters or clams, snails or shrimp, if only we know how to unravel the existential significance of these foods.
Jean-Paul Sartre
I am myself and I am here.
Jean-Paul Sartre
In the state I was in, if someone had come and told me I could go home quietly, that they would leave me my life whole, it would have left me cold: several hours or several years of waiting is all the same when you have lost the illusion of being eternal.
Jean-Paul Sartre
