All-powerful god, who am I but the fear that I inspire in others?
Jean-Paul Sartre
Image
A good hanging now and then -- that entertains folk in the provinces and robs death of its glamour.
Jean-Paul Sartre
Image
One always dies too soon or too late. And yet, life is there, finished: the line is drawn, and it must all be added up. You are nothing other than your life.
Jean-Paul Sartre
Image
What is boredom? It is when there is simultaneously too much and not enough.
Jean-Paul Sartre
Image
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
Who can exhaust a man? Who knows a man's resources?
Jean-Paul Sartre
Image
I maintain that inversion is the effect of neither a prenatal choice nor an endocrinal malformation nor even the passive and determined result of complexes. It is an outlet that a child discovers when he is suffocating.
Jean-Paul Sartre
Image
Freedom is existence, and in it existence precedes essence.
Jean-Paul Sartre
Image
Freedom is what you do with what's been done to you.
Jean-Paul Sartre
Image
Existence is an imperfection.
Jean-Paul Sartre
Image
Is there really nothing, nothing left of me?
Jean-Paul Sartre
Image
You must be afraid, my son. That is how one becomes an honest citizen.
Jean-Paul Sartre
Image
If I did not publish this autobiography [Les Mots] sooner and in its most radical form, it is because I considered it exaggerated.
Jean-Paul Sartre
Image
I do not give a damn about the dead. They died for the [Communist] Party and the Party can decide what it wants. I practice a live man's politics, for the living.
Jean-Paul Sartre
Image
What I ask of [the writer] is not to ignore the reality and the fundamental problems that exist. The world's hunger, the atomic threat, the alienation of man, I am astonished that they do not color all our literature.
Jean-Paul Sartre
Image
So much torture, bloodshed, deceit. You cannot make your young people practice torture twenty-four hours a day and not expect to pay a price for it.
Jean-Paul Sartre
Image
A lost battle is a battle one thinks one has lost.
Jean-Paul Sartre
Image
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
Image
Little flashes of sun on the surface of a cold, dark sea.
Jean-Paul Sartre
Image
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
