More quotes by Jean-Paul Sartre
It is always more valuable to report the truth.
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
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
There may be more beautiful times, but this one is ours.
Jean-Paul Sartre
All human actions are equivalent... and all are on principle doomed to failure.
Jean-Paul Sartre
Once freedom lights its beacon in man's heart, the gods are powerless against him.
Jean-Paul Sartre
My thought is me: that's why I can't stop. I exist because I think… and I can't stop myself from thinking. At this very moment - it's frightful - if I exist, it is because I am horrified at existing. I am the one who pulls myself from the nothingness to which I aspire.
Jean-Paul Sartre
I distrust the incommunicable it is the source of all violence
Jean-Paul Sartre
I admire [Samuel] Beckett, but I am totally against him. He seeks no improvement.
Jean-Paul Sartre
Take [Stéphane] Mallarme. I hold him to be the greatest of French poets, and I have taken some time to understand him !
Jean-Paul Sartre
Uncalled-for aggression arouses the hatred of the civilian population.
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
There is no book of mine that I reject. That does not mean that I find them good.
Jean-Paul Sartre
Man is not the sum of what he has already, but rather the sum of what he does not yet have, of what he could have.
Jean-Paul Sartre
Originally, poetry creates the myth, while the prose-writer draws its portrait.
Jean-Paul Sartre
Everything has been figured out, except how to live.
Jean-Paul Sartre
Il n'y a de réalité que dans l'action. (There is no reality except in action.)
Jean-Paul Sartre
What the painter adds to the canvas are the days of his life. The adventure of living, hurtling toward death.
Jean-Paul Sartre
I am responsible for everything... except my very responsibility.
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
