More quotes by Jean-Paul Sartre
Ideas come in pairs and they contradict one another their opposition is the principal engine of reflection.
Jean-Paul Sartre
Love or hatred calls for self-surrender. He cuts a fine figure, the warm-blooded, prosperous man, solidly entrenched in his well-being, who one fine day surrenders all to love—or to hatred himself, his house, his land, his memories.
Jean-Paul Sartre
There is no book of mine that I reject. That does not mean that I find them good.
Jean-Paul Sartre
I will not be modest. Humble, as much as you like, but not modest. Modesty is the virtue of the lukewarm.
Jean-Paul Sartre

Jean-Paul Sartre
Existence is prior to essence.
Jean-Paul Sartre
If a Jew is fascinated by Christians it is not because of their virtues, which he values little, but because they represent anonymity, humanity without race.
Jean-Paul Sartre
Once liberty has exploded in the soul of a man, the gods can do nothing against that man.
Jean-Paul Sartre
As long as the writer cannot write for the two billion men who are hungry, he will be oppressed by a feeling of malaise.
Jean-Paul Sartre
The For-itself, in fact, is nothing but the pure nihilation of the In-itself it is like a hole of being at the heart of Being.
Jean-Paul Sartre
I was a neophyte in another world [in 1954].
Jean-Paul Sartre
Acting is a question of absorbing other people's personalities and adding some of your own experience.
Jean-Paul Sartre
Sometimes the truth is too simple for intellectuals.
Jean-Paul Sartre
