One is still what one is going to cease to be and already what one is going to become. One lives one's death, one dies one's life.

More quotes by 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
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
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
Nothing happens while you live. The scenery changes, people come in and go out, that's all. There are no beginnings. Days are tacked on to days without rhyme or reason, an interminable, monotonous addition.
Jean-Paul Sartre
I am alone in this white, garden-rimmed street. Alone and free. But this freedom is rather like death.
Jean-Paul Sartre
You know how much I admire Che Guevara. In fact, I believe that the man was not only an intellectual but also the most complete human being of our age: as a fighter and as a man, as a theoretician who was able to further the cause of revolution by drawing his theories from his personal experience in battle.
Jean-Paul Sartre
I am myself and I am here.
Jean-Paul Sartre
That is exactly the writer's problem. What does literature stand for in a hungry world?
Jean-Paul Sartre
I do not believe in God his existence has been disproved by Science. But in the concentration camp, I learned to believe in men.
Jean-Paul Sartre
Who can exhaust a man? Who knows a man's resources?
Jean-Paul Sartre
Once liberty has exploded in the soul of a man, the gods can do nothing against that man.
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
There is no human nature, since there is no god to conceive it.
Jean-Paul Sartre
One always dies too soon or too late. And yet, life is there, finished: the line is drawn, and it must all be added up. You are nothing other than your life.
Jean-Paul Sartre
Intellectuals cannot be good revolutionaries they are just good enough to be assassins.
Jean-Paul Sartre
What I ask of [the writer] is not to ignore the reality and the fundamental problems that exist. The world's hunger, the atomic threat, the alienation of man, I am astonished that they do not color all our literature.
Jean-Paul Sartre
Better to have beasts that let themselves be killed than men who run away.
Jean-Paul Sartre
I have such a desire to sleep and am so much behind my sleep. A good night, one good night and all this nonsense will be swept away.
Jean-Paul Sartre
I know only one Church: it is the society of men.
Jean-Paul Sartre
God is absence. God is the solitude of man.
Jean-Paul Sartre
