More quotes by Jean-Paul Sartre
Commitment is an act, not a word.
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
When the rich [and politically powerful] make war, it's the poor [and politically weak] who die.
Jean-Paul Sartre
A kiss without a moustache, they said then, is like an egg without salt I will add to it: and it is like Good without Evil.
Jean-Paul Sartre
Remember, Orestes: you were part of my herd, you grazed in the fields along with my sheep. Your liberty is nothing but a mange eating away at you, it is nothing but an exile.
Jean-Paul Sartre
When we love animals and children too much, we love them at the expense of men.
Jean-Paul Sartre
The best work is not what is most difficult for you it is what you do best.
Jean-Paul Sartre
Lord, you have cursed Cain and Cain’s children: thy will be done. You have allowed men’s hearts to be corrupted, that their intentions be rotten, that their actions putrefy and stink: thy will be done.
Jean-Paul Sartre
Life gave me everything I asked If all I asked was not a great deal, that's my problem!
Jean-Paul Sartre
Intellectuals cannot be good revolutionaries they are just good enough to be assassins.
Jean-Paul Sartre
Life is nothing until it is lived but it is yours to make sense of, and the of it is nothing other than the sense you choose.
Jean-Paul Sartre
Politics is a science. You can demonstrate that you are right and that others are wrong.
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
Thus it amounts to the same thing whether one gets drunk alone or is a leader of nations.
Jean-Paul Sartre
Man is nothing else but what he purposes, he exists only in so far as he realizes himself, he is therefore nothing else but the sum of his actions, nothing else but what his life is.
Jean-Paul Sartre
I think that is the big danger in keeping a diary: you exaggerate everything.
Jean-Paul Sartre
Freedom is what you do with what's been done to you.
Jean-Paul Sartre
Like all dreamers, I mistook disenchantment for truth.
Jean-Paul Sartre
Once freedom lights its beacon in man's heart, the gods are powerless against him.
Jean-Paul Sartre
I will take it all: tongs, molten lead, prongs, garrotes, all that burns, all that tears, I want to truly suffer. Better one hundred bites, better the whip, vitriol, than this suffering in the head, this ghost of suffering which grazes and caresses and never hurts enough.
Jean-Paul Sartre
