More quotes by Jean-Paul Sartre
It is disgusting -- Why must we have bodies?
Jean-Paul Sartre
Through the lack of attaching myself to words, my thoughts remain nebulous most of the time. They sketch vague, pleasant shapes and then are swallowed up I forget them almost immediately.
Jean-Paul Sartre
He is always becoming, and if it were not for the contingency of death, he would never end.
Jean-Paul Sartre
You must be afraid, my son. That is how one becomes an honest citizen.
Jean-Paul Sartre
The form [of literature] matters little to me, classical or not.
Jean-Paul Sartre
If I relegate impossible Salvation to the prop room, what remains? A whole man, composed of all men and as good as all of them and no better than any.
Jean-Paul Sartre
The individual's duty is to do what he wants to do, to think whatever he likes, to be accountable to no one but himself, to challenge every idea and every person.
Jean-Paul Sartre
Is there really nothing, nothing left of me?
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
There may be more beautiful times, but this one is ours.
Jean-Paul Sartre
The For-itself, in fact, is nothing but the pure nihilation of the In-itself it is like a hole of being at the heart of Being.
Jean-Paul Sartre
First all men must be able to become men by the improvement of their conditions of existence, so that a universal morality can be created. If I begin by saying to them: Thou shalt not lie, there is no longer any possibility of political action. What matters first is the liberation of man.
Jean-Paul Sartre
For an occurrence to become an adventure, it is necessary and sufficient for one to recount it.
Jean-Paul Sartre
People who live in society have learnt how to see themselves, in mirrors, as they appear to their friends. I have no friends: is that why my flesh is so naked?
Jean-Paul Sartre
Man is always separated from what he is by all the breadth of the being which he is not. He makes himself known to himself from the other side of the world and he looks from the horizon toward himself to recover his inner being.
Jean-Paul Sartre
For the time being I have seen enough of living things, of dogs, of men, of all flabby masses which move spontaneously.
Jean-Paul Sartre
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.
Jean-Paul Sartre
This then is the age of reason.
Jean-Paul Sartre
I am neither virgin nor priest enough to play with the inner life.
Jean-Paul Sartre
Things are entirely what they appear to be and behind them... there is nothing.
Jean-Paul Sartre
