In order to make myself recognized by the Other, I must risk my own life. To risk one's life, in fact, is to reveal oneself as not-bound to the objective form or to any determined existence — as not-bound to life.

Smooth and smiling faces everywhere, but ruin in their eyes.
Jean-Paul Sartre
Everything comes to us from others. To Be is to belong to someone.
Jean-Paul Sartre
Be quiet! Anyone can spit in my face, and call me a criminal and a prostitute. But no one has the right to judge my remorse.
Jean-Paul Sartre
For common minds have an ugly ability to perceive in the deepest and richest saying nothing but their own everyday opinion.
Jean-Paul Sartre
Who can exhaust a man? Who knows a man's resources?
Jean-Paul Sartre
A pale reflection of myself wavers in my consciousness...and suddenly the “I” pales, pales, and fades out.
Jean-Paul Sartre
Total war is no longer war waged by all members of one national community against all those of another. It is total... because it may well involve the whole world.
Jean-Paul Sartre
I think that is the big danger in keeping a diary: you exaggerate everything.
Jean-Paul Sartre
Objects should not touch because they are not alive. You use them, put them back in place, you live among them: they are useful, nothing more. But they touch me, it is unbearable. I am afraid of being in contact with them as though they were living beasts.
Jean-Paul Sartre
[Andre] Gide can say it to me: it is a writer's morality only addressed to a few privileged people. For that reason it no longer interests me.
Jean-Paul Sartre
I’ve dropped out of their hearts like a little sparrow fallen from its nest. So gather me up, dear, fold me to your heart – and you’ll see how nice I can be.
Jean-Paul Sartre
Torture is senseless violence, born in fear... torture costs human lives but does not save them. We would almost be too lucky if these crimes were the work of savages: the truth is that torture makes torturers.
Jean-Paul Sartre
[Contemporary writer] could be a kind of [Samuel] Beckett who would not be felt to be totally committed to despair.
Jean-Paul Sartre
One could only damage oneself through the harm one did to others. One could never get directly at oneself.
Jean-Paul Sartre
I entered the Communist Party because its cause was just and I will leave it when it ceases to be just.
Jean-Paul Sartre
It is always more valuable to report the truth.
Jean-Paul Sartre
The revolution you dream of is not ours. You don't want to change the world you want to blow it up.
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
An individual chooses and makes himself.
Jean-Paul Sartre
If you die, I will lie down beside you and I will stay there until the end, without eating or drinking, you will rot in my arms and I will love you as carcass: for you love nothing if you do not love everything.
Jean-Paul Sartre
