Jean-Paul Sartre
I can receive nothing more from these tragic solitudes than a little empty purity.
Jean-Paul Sartre
Imagination is not an empirical or superadded power of consciousness, it is the whole of consciousness as it realizes its freedom.
Jean-Paul Sartre
The existentialist says at once that man is anguish.
Jean-Paul Sartre
If you are not already dead, forgive. Rancor is heavy, it is worldly leave it on earth: die light.
Jean-Paul Sartre
The world would get along very well without literature. It would get along even better without man.
Jean-Paul Sartre
it was odd, he thought, that a man could hate himself as though he were someone else.

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
What I see is teeming cohesion, contained dispersal... For him, to sculpt is to take the fat off space.
Jean-Paul Sartre

Jean-Paul Sartre
Uncalled-for aggression arouses the hatred of the civilian population.
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
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
I wrote in Les Mots that I have often thought against myself. That sentence has not been understood either. Critics have seen in it a confession of masochism. But that is how one should think: revolting against everything inculcated'' that one may have within oneself.
Jean-Paul Sartre
Il n'y a de réalité que dans l'action. (There is no reality except in action.)
Jean-Paul Sartre
In Les Mots I explain the origin of my madness, of my neurosis. This analysis may help the young who dream of writing.
Jean-Paul Sartre
Once liberty has exploded in the soul of a man, the gods can do nothing against that man.
Jean-Paul Sartre
I had spent my time counterfeiting eternity.
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
