That is exactly the writer's problem. What does literature stand for in a hungry world?
Jean-Paul Sartre
Image
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

Jean-Paul Sartre
Image
It is no longer possible to escape men. Farewell to the monsters, farewell to the saints. Farewell to pride. All that is left is men.
Jean-Paul Sartre
Image
Like all dreamers, I mistook disenchantment for truth.
Jean-Paul Sartre
Image
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
Image
I am myself and I am here.
Jean-Paul Sartre
Image
My eyes feel all soft, all soft as flesh. I'm going to sleep.
Jean-Paul Sartre
Image
Thus it amounts to the same thing whether one gets drunk alone or is a leader of nations.
Jean-Paul Sartre
Image
Man is nothing else but what he makes of himself.
Jean-Paul Sartre
Image
There is no love apart from the deeds of love no potentiality of love other than that which is manifested in loving.
Jean-Paul Sartre
Image
If a Jew is fascinated by Christians it is not because of their virtues, which he values little, but because they represent anonymity, humanity without race.
