Jean-Paul Sartre
I have such a desire to sleep and am so much behind my sleep. A good night, one good night and all this nonsense will be swept away.
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
As if there could be true stories: things happen in one way, and we retell them in the opposite way.
Jean-Paul Sartre
Man is abandoned on earth in the midst of his infinite responsibilities, without help, with no aim but what he sets himself.
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
For the time being I have seen enough of living things, of dogs, of men, of all flabby masses which move spontaneously.
Jean-Paul Sartre
