Jean-Paul Sartre
I have nothing but contempt for you idiotic chosen ones who have the heart to rejoice when there are the damned in Hell and the poor on earth as for me, I am on the side of men and I will not leave it.
Jean-Paul Sartre

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
Like morality, literature needs to be universal. So that the writer must put himself on the side of the majority, of the two billion starving, if he wishes to be able to speak to all and be read by all. Failing that, he is at the service of a privileged class and, like it, an exploiter.
Jean-Paul Sartre
Man is fully responsible for his nature and his choices.
Jean-Paul Sartre
It is always more valuable to report the truth.
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
A good hanging now and then -- that entertains folk in the provinces and robs death of its glamour.
Jean-Paul Sartre
The past is the luxury of proprietors.
Jean-Paul Sartre
It's just what people do when they're getting old, when they're sick of themselves and their life they think of money and take care of themselves.
Jean-Paul Sartre
