Jean-Paul Sartre
God is dead. Let us not understand by this that he does not exist or even that he no longer exists. He is dead. He spoke to us and is silent. We no longer have anything but his cadaver. Perhaps he slipped out of the world, somewhere else like the soul of a dead man. Perhaps he was only a dream...God is dead.

Once you hear the details of victory, it is hard to distinguish it from a defeat.
Jean-Paul Sartre

Jean-Paul Sartre
You see, I'm fond of teasing, it's a second nature with me—and I'm used to teasing myself. Plaguing myself, if you prefer I don't tease nicely.
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
