More quotes by Jean-Paul Sartre
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
I am responsible for everything... except my very responsibility.
Jean-Paul Sartre
I was a neophyte in another world [in 1954].
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
Fascism is not defined by the number of its victims, but by the way it kills them.
Jean-Paul Sartre
The [Communist] Party has one objective: the creation of a socialist economy and one means: the utilization of the class struggle.
Jean-Paul Sartre
Intellectuals cannot be good revolutionaries they are just good enough to be assassins.
Jean-Paul Sartre
Man's existence precedes his essence
Jean-Paul Sartre
Hell is other people at breakfast.
Jean-Paul Sartre
I know only one Church: it is the society of men.
Jean-Paul Sartre
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
In the state I was in, if someone had come and told me I could go home quietly, that they would leave me my life whole, it would have left me cold: several hours or several years of waiting is all the same when you have lost the illusion of being eternal.
Jean-Paul Sartre
Generosity is nothing else than a craze to possess. All which I abandon, all which I give, I enjoy in a higher manner through the fact that I give it away. To give is to enjoy possessively the object which one gives.
Jean-Paul Sartre
I have such a desire to sleep and am so much behind my sleep. A good night, one good night and all this nonsense will be swept away.
Jean-Paul Sartre
You know how much I admire Che Guevara. In fact, I believe that the man was not only an intellectual but also the most complete human being of our age: as a fighter and as a man, as a theoretician who was able to further the cause of revolution by drawing his theories from his personal experience in battle.
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
When we love animals and children too much, we love them at the expense of men.
Jean-Paul Sartre
You take souls for vegetables.... The gardener can decide what will become of his carrots but no one can choose the good of others for them.
Jean-Paul Sartre
If you are lonely when you're alone, you are in bad company.
Jean-Paul Sartre
As if there could be true stories: things happen in one way, and we retell them in the opposite way.
Jean-Paul Sartre
