Quote

I suppose it is out of laziness that the world is the same day after day. Today it seemed to want to change. And then anything, anything could happen.

Good digestions, the gray monotony of provincial life, and the boredom-ah the soul-destroying boredom-of long days of mild content.
Jean-Paul Sartre
Image
Nothingness lies coiled in the heart of being - like a worm.
Jean-Paul Sartre
Image
One should commit no stupidity twice, the variety of choice is, in the end, large enough.
Jean-Paul Sartre
Image
It is enough that one man hate another for hate to gain, little by little, all mankind.
Jean-Paul Sartre
Image
So long as one believes in God, one has the right to do the Good in order to be moral.
Jean-Paul Sartre

the worst part about being lied to is knowing you werent worth the truth
Jean-Paul Sartre
Image
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
Image
Man is nothing else but what he purposes, he exists only in so far as he realizes himself, he is therefore nothing else but the sum of his actions, nothing else but what his life is.
Jean-Paul Sartre
Image
Once liberty has exploded in the soul of a man, the gods can do nothing against that man.
Jean-Paul Sartre
Image
Intellectuals cannot be good revolutionaries they are just good enough to be assassins.
Jean-Paul Sartre
Image
There is no human nature, since there is no god to conceive it.
Jean-Paul Sartre
Image
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
Image
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
Image
As for me, I am mean: that means that I need the suffering of others to exist. A flame. A flame in their hearts. When I am all alone, I am extinguished.
Jean-Paul Sartre
Image
On my way to the office in the morning, there are, in front of me, behind me, other men going to their jobs. I see them if I dared, I would smile at them. I think to myself that I am a socialist, that they are the purpose of my life, of my efforts and that they do not know it yet.
Jean-Paul Sartre
Image
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
Image
Fear? If I have gained anything by damning myself, it is that I no longer have anything to fear.
Jean-Paul Sartre
Image
If you are not already dead, forgive. Rancor is heavy, it is worldly leave it on earth: die light.
Jean-Paul Sartre
Image
God is the solitude of men. There was only me: I alone decided to commit Evil alone, I invented Good. I am the one who cheated, I am the one who performed miracles, I am the one accusing myself today, I alone can absolve myself me, the man.

If you seek authenticity for authenticity's sake you are no longer authentic.
