More quotes by 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
In wanting freedom we discover that it depends entirely on the freedom of others, and that the freedom of others depends on ours. . . I am obliged to want others to have freedom at the same time that I want my own freedom. I can take freedom as my goal only if I take that of others as a goal as well.
Jean-Paul Sartre

Jean-Paul Sartre
Man is nothing else but what he purposes, he exists only in so far as he realizes himself, he is therefore nothing else but the sum of his actions, nothing else but what his life is.

It is therefore senseless to think of complaining since nothing foreign has decided what we feel, what we live, or what we are.
Jean-Paul Sartre
To know what life is worth you have to risk it once in a while.
Jean-Paul Sartre
There may be more beautiful times, but this one is ours.
Jean-Paul Sartre
I tell you in truth: all men are Prophets or else God does not exist.
Jean-Paul Sartre
You know how much I admire Che Guevara. In fact, I believe that the man was not only an intellectual but also the most complete human being of our age: as a fighter and as a man, as a theoretician who was able to further the cause of revolution by drawing his theories from his personal experience in battle.
Jean-Paul Sartre
You are -- your life, and nothing else.
Jean-Paul Sartre
Uncalled-for aggression arouses the hatred of the civilian population.
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
All human actions are equivalent... and all are on principle doomed to failure.
Jean-Paul Sartre
