More quotes by Jean-Paul Sartre
Atheism is a cruel long term business, and I have gone through it to the end.
Jean-Paul Sartre
It is certain that we cannot escape anguish, for we are anguish.
Jean-Paul Sartre
What I see is teeming cohesion, contained dispersal... For him, to sculpt is to take the fat off space.
Jean-Paul Sartre
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
An individual chooses and makes himself.
Jean-Paul Sartre
Night is falling: at dusk, you must have good eyesight to be able to tell the Good Lord from the Devil.
Jean-Paul Sartre
Torture is senseless violence, born in fear... torture costs human lives but does not save them. We would almost be too lucky if these crimes were the work of savages: the truth is that torture makes torturers.
Jean-Paul Sartre
As far as men go, it is not what they are that interests me, but what they can become.

Jean-Paul Sartre
I have no need for good souls: an accomplice is what I wanted.
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
Once we know and are aware, we are responsible for our action and our inaction. We can do something about it or ignore it. Either way, we are still responsible.
Jean-Paul Sartre
I consider Les Nourritures Terrestres as a frightening book: Look for God in no other place than everywhere. Go and tell that to a workman, an engineer!
Jean-Paul Sartre
I entered the Communist Party because its cause was just and I will leave it when it ceases to be just.
Jean-Paul Sartre
Photographs are not ideas. They give us ideas.
Jean-Paul Sartre
Commitment is an act, not a word.
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
A pale reflection of myself wavers in my consciousness...and suddenly the “I” pales, pales, and fades out.
Jean-Paul Sartre
