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.

The For-itself, in fact, is nothing but the pure nihilation of the In-itself it is like a hole of being at the heart of Being.
Jean-Paul Sartre
Once freedom lights its beacon in man's heart, the gods are powerless against him.
Jean-Paul Sartre
He is always becoming, and if it were not for the contingency of death, he would never end.

What do I care about Jupiter? Justice is a human issue, and I do not need a god to teach it to me.
Jean-Paul Sartre
The best work is not what is most difficult for you it is what you do best.
