More quotes by Jean-Paul Sartre
There are two kinds of existentialist first, those who are Christian...and on the other hand the atheistic existentialists, among whom...I class myself. What they have in common is that they think that existence precedes essence, or, if you prefer, that subjectivity must be the turning point.
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
I have such a desire to sleep and am so much behind my sleep. A good night, one good night and all this nonsense will be swept away.
Jean-Paul Sartre
All that I know about my life, it seems, I have learned in books.
Jean-Paul Sartre
Perhaps its inevitable, perhaps one has to choose between being nothing at all and impersonating what one is.
Jean-Paul Sartre
The lad who dreams of being a boxing champion or an admiral chooses reality. If the writer chooses the imaginary, he confuses the two.
Jean-Paul Sartre
Take [Stéphane] Mallarme. I hold him to be the greatest of French poets, and I have taken some time to understand him !
Jean-Paul Sartre
When I can't see myself in the mirror, I can't even feel myself, and I begin to wonder if I exist at all.
Jean-Paul Sartre
I am no longer sure of anything. If I satiate my desires, I sin but I deliver myself from them if I refuse to satisfy them, they infect the whole soul.
Jean-Paul Sartre
The more absurd life is, the more insupportable death is.
Jean-Paul Sartre
The past is the luxury of proprietors.
Jean-Paul Sartre
As long as the writer cannot write for the two billion men who are hungry, he will be oppressed by a feeling of malaise.
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
We do not know what we want and yet we are responsible for what we are - that is the fact.
Jean-Paul Sartre
This then is the age of reason.
Jean-Paul Sartre
In a word, man must create his own essence: it is in throwing himself into the world, suffering there, struggling there, that he gradually defines himself.
Jean-Paul Sartre
Nothing happens while you live. The scenery changes, people come in and go out, that's all. There are no beginnings. Days are tacked on to days without rhyme or reason, an interminable, monotonous addition.
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 needed to justify my existence, and I had made an absolute of literature. It took me thirty years to get rid of this state of mind.
Jean-Paul Sartre
I consider Les Nourritures Terrestres as a frightening book: Look for God in no other place than everywhere. Go and tell that to a workman, an engineer!
Jean-Paul Sartre
