More quotes by Jean-Paul Sartre
Handing over a bank note is enough to make a bicycle belong to me, but my entire life is needed to realize this possession.
Jean-Paul Sartre
A man is involved in life, leaves his impress on it, and outside of that there is nothing.
Jean-Paul Sartre
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
I had dreamed my life for nearly fifty years (I am about to be fifty-nine). But, you see, there are two tones in Les Mats: the echo of this condemnation and a mitigation of that severity.
Jean-Paul Sartre
I wrote in Les Mots that I have often thought against myself. That sentence has not been understood either. Critics have seen in it a confession of masochism. But that is how one should think: revolting against everything inculcated'' that one may have within oneself.
Jean-Paul Sartre
Remember, Orestes: you were part of my herd, you grazed in the fields along with my sheep. Your liberty is nothing but a mange eating away at you, it is nothing but an exile.
Jean-Paul Sartre
This desire [to write] is rather strange all the same and is not without a certain cracked quality.
Jean-Paul Sartre
Everything comes to us from others. To Be is to belong to someone.
Jean-Paul Sartre
The world would get along very well without literature. It would get along even better without man.
Jean-Paul Sartre
We must act out passion before we can feel it.
Jean-Paul Sartre
It is no longer possible to escape men. Farewell to the monsters, farewell to the saints. Farewell to pride. All that is left is men.
Jean-Paul Sartre
I do not understand! I understand nothing! I cannot understand nor do I want to understand! I want to believe! To Believe!
Jean-Paul Sartre
The universe remains dark. We are animals struck by catastrophe.
Jean-Paul Sartre
Man is fully responsible for his nature and his choices.
Jean-Paul Sartre
Three o'clock is always too late or too early for anything you want to do.
Jean-Paul Sartre
If you seek authenticity for authenticity's sake you are no longer authentic.
Jean-Paul Sartre
Politics is a science. You can demonstrate that you are right and that others are wrong.
Jean-Paul Sartre
Existence is not something which lets itself be thought of form a distance it must invade you suddenly, master you, weigh heavily on your heart like a great motionless beast - or else there is nothing at all.
Jean-Paul Sartre
Better a good journalist than a poor assassin.
Jean-Paul Sartre
Better to have beasts that let themselves be killed than men who run away.
Jean-Paul Sartre
