More quotes by 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
In Les Mots I explain the origin of my madness, of my neurosis. This analysis may help the young who dream of writing.
Jean-Paul Sartre
Hell is for other people.
Jean-Paul Sartre
Something begins in order to end: an adventure doesn't let itself be extended it achieves significance only through its death.
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

Jean-Paul Sartre
To know what life is worth you have to risk it once in a while.
Jean-Paul Sartre
It's just what people do when they're getting old, when they're sick of themselves and their life they think of money and take care of themselves.
Jean-Paul Sartre
Politics is a science. You can demonstrate that you are right and that others are wrong.
Jean-Paul Sartre
Your scare me rather. My reflection in the glass never did that of course, I knew it so well. Like something I had tamed...I'm going to smile, and my smile will sink down into your pupils, and heaven knows what it will become.
Jean-Paul Sartre
There may be more beautiful times, but this one is ours.
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
A madman's ravings are absurd in relation to the situation in which he finds himself, but not in relation to his madness.
Jean-Paul Sartre
A writer must refuse to allow himself to be transformed into an institution.
Jean-Paul Sartre
Neither sex, without some fertilization of the complimentary characters of the other, is capable of the highest reaches of human endeavor.
Jean-Paul Sartre
