The aim of language...is to communicate...to impart to others the results one has obtained...As I talk, I reveal the situation...I reveal it to myself and to others in order to change it.

More quotes by Jean-Paul Sartre
One should commit no stupidity twice, the variety of choice is, in the end, large enough.
Jean-Paul Sartre
I will not be modest. Humble, as much as you like, but not modest. Modesty is the virtue of the lukewarm.
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
I had spent my time counterfeiting eternity.
Jean-Paul Sartre
In wanting freedom we discover that it depends entirely on the freedom of others, and that the freedom of others depends on ours. . . I am obliged to want others to have freedom at the same time that I want my own freedom. I can take freedom as my goal only if I take that of others as a goal as well.
Jean-Paul Sartre
It is meaningless that we are born, it is meaningless that we die.
Jean-Paul Sartre

Jean-Paul Sartre
Like morality, literature needs to be universal. So that the writer must put himself on the side of the majority, of the two billion starving, if he wishes to be able to speak to all and be read by all. Failing that, he is at the service of a privileged class and, like it, an exploiter.
Jean-Paul Sartre
If you are not already dead, forgive. Rancor is heavy, it is worldly leave it on earth: die light.
Jean-Paul Sartre
I hate victims who respect their executioners.
Jean-Paul Sartre
All I can do is make the best of what I am, become accustomed to it, evaluate the possibilities, and take advantage of them the best I can.
Jean-Paul Sartre
I know only one Church: it is the society of men.
Jean-Paul Sartre
Yes, I am so free. And what a superb absence is my soul.
Jean-Paul Sartre
Hell is for other people.
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
