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
Image
The revolution you dream of is not ours. You don't want to change the world you want to blow it up.
Jean-Paul Sartre
Image
It is the same: a chosen one is a man whom God's finger crushes against the wall.
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.

The best work is not what is most difficult for you it is what you do best.
Jean-Paul Sartre

Thrown into the atmosphere of action [in 1954], I suddenly understood the kind of neurosis that dominated all my previous work. I had not been able to recognize it before: I was inside. Simone de Beauvoir had guessed these reasons before I did.
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
I admire [Samuel] Beckett, but I am totally against him. He seeks no improvement.

Jean-Paul Sartre
Image
Words There is no good father, that's the rule. Don't lay the blame on men but on the bond of paternity, which is rotten. To beget children, nothing better to have them, what iniquity!
Jean-Paul Sartre
Image
Originally, poetry creates the myth, while the prose-writer draws its portrait.
Jean-Paul Sartre
Image
I wrote in Les Mots that I have often thought against myself. That sentence has not been understood either. Critics have seen in it a confession of masochism. But that is how one should think: revolting against everything inculcated'' that one may have within oneself.

Nicias, do you think you can erase with good deeds the wrongs you committed against your mother? What good deed will ever reach her? Her soul is a scorching noon time, without a single breath of a breeze, nothing moves, nothing changes, nothing lives there a great emaciated sun, an immobile sun eternally consumes her.

What is boredom? It is when there is simultaneously too much and not enough.
Jean-Paul Sartre
Image
Intellectuals cannot be good revolutionaries they are just good enough to be assassins.
Jean-Paul Sartre
Image
I am no longer sure of anything. If I satiate my desires, I sin but I deliver myself from them if I refuse to satisfy them, they infect the whole soul.
Jean-Paul Sartre
Image
As if there could be true stories: things happen in one way, and we retell them in the opposite way.

I’ve dropped out of their hearts like a little sparrow fallen from its nest. So gather me up, dear, fold me to your heart – and you’ll see how nice I can be.
