Jean-Paul Sartre

Jean-Paul Sartre
What then did you expect when you unbound the gag that muted those black mouths? That they would chant your praises? Did you think that when those heads that our fathers had forcibly bowed down to the ground were raised again, you would find adoration in their eyes?
Jean-Paul Sartre
Smooth and smiling faces everywhere, but ruin in their eyes.
Jean-Paul Sartre
[Andre] Gide can say it to me: it is a writer's morality only addressed to a few privileged people. For that reason it no longer interests me.
Jean-Paul Sartre
Once you hear the details of victory, it is hard to distinguish it from a defeat.
Jean-Paul Sartre
Fascism is not defined by the number of its victims, but by the way it kills them.
Jean-Paul Sartre
