More quotes by Jean-Paul Sartre
A writer must refuse to allow himself to be transformed into an institution.
Jean-Paul Sartre
A good hanging now and then -- that entertains folk in the provinces and robs death of its glamour.
Jean-Paul Sartre
To keep hope alive one must, in spite of all mistakes, horrors, and crimes, recognize the obvious superiority of the socialist camp.
Jean-Paul Sartre

Jean-Paul Sartre
The form [of literature] matters little to me, classical or not.
Jean-Paul Sartre
There are two ways of destroying a people. Either condemn them en bloc or force them to repudiate the leaders they adopted. The second is the worse.
Jean-Paul Sartre
Nicias, do you think you can erase with good deeds the wrongs you committed against your mother? What good deed will ever reach her? Her soul is a scorching noon time, without a single breath of a breeze, nothing moves, nothing changes, nothing lives there a great emaciated sun, an immobile sun eternally consumes her.
Jean-Paul Sartre
We must act out passion before we can feel it.
Jean-Paul Sartre
Existence is not something which lets itself be thought of form a distance it must invade you suddenly, master you, weigh heavily on your heart like a great motionless beast - or else there is nothing at all.
Jean-Paul Sartre
Violence is good for those who have nothing to lose.
Jean-Paul Sartre
A pale reflection of myself wavers in my consciousness...and suddenly the “I” pales, pales, and fades out.
Jean-Paul Sartre
I have always been an optimist, perhaps even too much.
Jean-Paul Sartre
Il n'y a pas d'autre univers qu'un univers humain, l'univers de la subjectivite humaine. There is no other universe except the human universe, the universe of human subjectivity.
Jean-Paul Sartre
She suffers as a miser. She must be miserly with her pleasures, as well. I wonder if sometimes she doesn't wish she were free of this monotonous sorrow, of these mutterings which start as soon as she stops singing, if she doesn't wish to suffer once and for all, to drown herself in despair. In any case, it would be impossible for her: she is bound.
Jean-Paul Sartre
The past is the luxury of proprietors.
Jean-Paul Sartre
First all men must be able to become men by the improvement of their conditions of existence, so that a universal morality can be created. If I begin by saying to them: Thou shalt not lie, there is no longer any possibility of political action. What matters first is the liberation of man.
Jean-Paul Sartre
I am alone in this white, garden-rimmed street. Alone and free. But this freedom is rather like death.
Jean-Paul Sartre
your judgement judges you and defines you
Jean-Paul Sartre
Smooth and smiling faces everywhere, but ruin in their eyes.
Jean-Paul Sartre
Fascism is not defined by the number of its victims, but by the way it kills them.
Jean-Paul Sartre
