Jean-Paul Sartre
When one does nothing, one believes oneself responsible for everything.
Jean-Paul Sartre
Things are entirely what they appear to be and behind them... there is nothing.
Jean-Paul Sartre

Jean-Paul Sartre
The plight of modern man is that he is condemmed to be free.
Jean-Paul Sartre
Respectable society believed in God in order to avoid having to speak about him.
Jean-Paul Sartre
I considered calmly that I was born to write.
Jean-Paul Sartre
Violence is good for those who have nothing to lose.
Jean-Paul Sartre
it was odd, he thought, that a man could hate himself as though he were someone else.
Jean-Paul Sartre
I suppose it is out of laziness that the world is the same day after day. Today it seemed to want to change. And then anything, anything could happen.
Jean-Paul Sartre
I have no religion, but if I were to choose one, it would be that of Shariati's.
Jean-Paul Sartre
