Jean-Paul Sartre
One is still what one is going to cease to be and already what one is going to become. One lives one's death, one dies one's life.
Jean-Paul Sartre
I am myself and I am here.
Jean-Paul Sartre
It is enough that one man hate another for hate to gain, little by little, all mankind.
Jean-Paul Sartre
Everything comes to us from others. To Be is to belong to someone.
Jean-Paul Sartre
I do not believe in God his existence has been disproved by Science. But in the concentration camp, I learned to believe in men.
Jean-Paul Sartre
A kiss without a moustache, they said then, is like an egg without salt I will add to it: and it is like Good without Evil.
