More quotes by Jean-Paul Sartre
When one loves animals and children too much, one loves them against human beings.
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
Hell is other people at breakfast.
Jean-Paul Sartre
A pale reflection of myself wavers in my consciousness...and suddenly the “I” pales, pales, and fades out.
Jean-Paul Sartre
With despair, true optimism begins: the optimism of the man who expects nothing, who knows he has no rights and nothing coming to him, who rejoices in counting on himself alone and in acting alone for the good of all.
Jean-Paul Sartre
Handing over a bank note is enough to make a bicycle belong to me, but my entire life is needed to realize this possession.
Jean-Paul Sartre
Man is fully responsible for his nature and his choices.
Jean-Paul Sartre
In a word, man must create his own essence: it is in throwing himself into the world, suffering there, struggling there, that he gradually defines himself.
Jean-Paul Sartre
No finite point has meaning without an infinite reference point.
Jean-Paul Sartre
Absurd, irreducible nothing--not even a profound and secret delirium of nature--could explain [a tree root].
Jean-Paul Sartre
Words There is no good father, that's the rule. Don't lay the blame on men but on the bond of paternity, which is rotten. To beget children, nothing better to have them, what iniquity!
Jean-Paul Sartre
Once we know and are aware, we are responsible for our action and our inaction. We can do something about it or ignore it. Either way, we are still responsible.
Jean-Paul Sartre
I hate victims who respect their executioners.
Jean-Paul Sartre
If you are lonely when you're alone, you are in bad company.
Jean-Paul Sartre
Therefore, in the nature of this will for freedom, which freedom itself implies, I may pass judgement on those who seek to hide from themselves the complete arbitrariness and the complete freedom of their existence.
Jean-Paul Sartre
The best work is not what is most difficult for you it is what you do best.
Jean-Paul Sartre
Man is what he wills himself to be.
Jean-Paul Sartre
A good hanging now and then -- that entertains folk in the provinces and robs death of its glamour.
Jean-Paul Sartre
it was odd, he thought, that a man could hate himself as though he were someone else.
Jean-Paul Sartre
Be quiet! Anyone can spit in my face, and call me a criminal and a prostitute. But no one has the right to judge my remorse.
Jean-Paul Sartre
