More quotes by Jean-Paul Sartre
I discovered suddenly that alienation, exploitation of man by man, under-nourishment, relegated to the background metaphysical evil which is a luxury.
Jean-Paul Sartre
To keep hope alive one must, in spite of all mistakes, horrors, and crimes, recognize the obvious superiority of the socialist camp.
Jean-Paul Sartre
Once you hear the details of victory, it is hard to distinguish it from a defeat.
Jean-Paul Sartre
I want to leave, to go somewhere where I should be really in my place, where I would fit in . . . but my place is nowhere I am unwanted.
Jean-Paul Sartre
People who live in society have learnt how to see themselves, in mirrors, as they appear to their friends. I have no friends: is that why my flesh is so naked?
Jean-Paul Sartre
Through the lack of attaching myself to words, my thoughts remain nebulous most of the time. They sketch vague, pleasant shapes and then are swallowed up I forget them almost immediately.
Jean-Paul Sartre
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
I tell you in truth: all men are Prophets or else God does not exist.
Jean-Paul Sartre
I have always been an optimist, perhaps even too much.
Jean-Paul Sartre
Sometimes the truth is too simple for intellectuals.
Jean-Paul Sartre
Man is what he wills himself to be.
Jean-Paul Sartre
An individual chooses and makes himself.
Jean-Paul Sartre
What do I care about Jupiter? Justice is a human issue, and I do not need a god to teach it to me.
Jean-Paul Sartre
To be responsible is to be the uncontested author of an event or thing.
Jean-Paul Sartre
Your scare me rather. My reflection in the glass never did that of course, I knew it so well. Like something I had tamed...I'm going to smile, and my smile will sink down into your pupils, and heaven knows what it will become.
Jean-Paul Sartre
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
You must be afraid, my son. That is how one becomes an honest citizen.
Jean-Paul Sartre
Hell is other people at breakfast.
Jean-Paul Sartre
The past is the luxury of proprietors.
Jean-Paul Sartre
What I lacked [in La Nausee] was a sense of reality. I have changed since. I have slowly learned to experience reality.
Jean-Paul Sartre
