More quotes by Jean-Paul Sartre
The world would get along very well without literature. It would get along even better without man.
Jean-Paul Sartre
I am myself and I am here.
Jean-Paul Sartre
This desire [to write] is rather strange all the same and is not without a certain cracked quality.
Jean-Paul Sartre
This is the basis for the joy of love when there is joy we feel that our existence is justified.
Jean-Paul Sartre
One should commit no stupidity twice, the variety of choice is, in the end, large enough.
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
Something begins in order to end: an adventure doesn't let itself be extended it achieves significance only through its death.
Jean-Paul Sartre
What I lacked [in La Nausee] was a sense of reality. I have changed since. I have slowly learned to experience reality.
Jean-Paul Sartre
All-powerful god, who am I but the fear that I inspire in others?
Jean-Paul Sartre
My pessimism has never been flabby.
Jean-Paul Sartre
The aim of language...is to communicate...to impart to others the results one has obtained...As I talk, I reveal the situation...I reveal it to myself and to others in order to change it.
Jean-Paul Sartre
What the painter adds to the canvas are the days of his life. The adventure of living, hurtling toward death.
Jean-Paul Sartre
You take souls for vegetables.... The gardener can decide what will become of his carrots but no one can choose the good of others for them.
Jean-Paul Sartre
Thrown into the atmosphere of action [in 1954], I suddenly understood the kind of neurosis that dominated all my previous work. I had not been able to recognize it before: I was inside. Simone de Beauvoir had guessed these reasons before I did.
Jean-Paul Sartre
Freedom is existence, and in it existence precedes essence.
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
Photographs are not ideas. They give us ideas.
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
I discovered suddenly that alienation, exploitation of man by man, under-nourishment, relegated to the background metaphysical evil which is a luxury.
Jean-Paul Sartre
Once liberty has exploded in the soul of a man, the gods can do nothing against that man.
Jean-Paul Sartre
