More quotes by Jean-Paul Sartre
So much torture, bloodshed, deceit. You cannot make your young people practice torture twenty-four hours a day and not expect to pay a price for it.
Jean-Paul Sartre
Perhaps its inevitable, perhaps one has to choose between being nothing at all and impersonating what one is.
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
Objects should not touch because they are not alive. You use them, put them back in place, you live among them: they are useful, nothing more. But they touch me, it is unbearable. I am afraid of being in contact with them as though they were living beasts.
Jean-Paul Sartre
Heroism is not to be won at the point of a pen.
Jean-Paul Sartre
The absurd man will not commit suicide he wants to live, without relinquishing any of his certainty, without a future, without hope, without illusions … and without resignation either. He stares at death with passionate attention and this fascination liberates him. He experiences the “divine irresponsibility” of the condemned man.
Jean-Paul Sartre
The lad who dreams of being a boxing champion or an admiral chooses reality. If the writer chooses the imaginary, he confuses the two.
Jean-Paul Sartre
In order to make myself recognized by the Other, I must risk my own life. To risk one's life, in fact, is to reveal oneself as not-bound to the objective form or to any determined existence — as not-bound to life.
Jean-Paul Sartre
One should commit no stupidity twice, the variety of choice is, in the end, large enough.
Jean-Paul Sartre
As long as the writer cannot write for the two billion men who are hungry, he will be oppressed by a feeling of malaise.
Jean-Paul Sartre
I can always choose, but I ought to know that if I do not choose, I am still choosing.
Jean-Paul Sartre
[Contemporary writer] could be a kind of [Samuel] Beckett who would not be felt to be totally committed to despair.
Jean-Paul Sartre
I have always been an optimist, perhaps even too much.
Jean-Paul Sartre
I distrust the incommunicable it is the source of all violence
Jean-Paul Sartre
If you are lonely when you're alone, you are in bad company.
Jean-Paul Sartre
This then is the age of reason.
Jean-Paul Sartre
Existence is an imperfection.
Jean-Paul Sartre
There is no love apart from the deeds of love no potentiality of love other than that which is manifested in loving.
Jean-Paul Sartre
I am not asking for sensational revelations, but I would like to sense the meaning of that minute, to feel it's urgency.
Jean-Paul Sartre
It is certain that we cannot escape anguish, for we are anguish.
Jean-Paul Sartre
