Lord, you have cursed Cain and Cain’s children: thy will be done. You have allowed men’s hearts to be corrupted, that their intentions be rotten, that their actions putrefy and stink: thy will be done.

More quotes by Jean-Paul Sartre
I think [Alain Robbe-Grillet] a good writer, but he speaks to the comfortable bourgeoisie.
Jean-Paul Sartre
What then did you expect when you unbound the gag that muted those black mouths? That they would chant your praises? Did you think that when those heads that our fathers had forcibly bowed down to the ground were raised again, you would find adoration in their eyes?
Jean-Paul Sartre
Better to have beasts that let themselves be killed than men who run away.
Jean-Paul Sartre
Nothing happens while you live. The scenery changes, people come in and go out, that's all. There are no beginnings. Days are tacked on to days without rhyme or reason, an interminable, monotonous addition.
Jean-Paul Sartre
I consider Les Nourritures Terrestres as a frightening book: Look for God in no other place than everywhere. Go and tell that to a workman, an engineer!
Jean-Paul Sartre
There is no book of mine that I reject. That does not mean that I find them good.
Jean-Paul Sartre
I had dreamed my life for nearly fifty years (I am about to be fifty-nine). But, you see, there are two tones in Les Mats: the echo of this condemnation and a mitigation of that severity.
Jean-Paul Sartre
The [Communist] Party has one objective: the creation of a socialist economy and one means: the utilization of the class struggle.
Jean-Paul Sartre
The best work is not what is most difficult for you it is what you do best.
Jean-Paul Sartre
What's done at night belongs to the night. In the daytime you don't talk about it.
Jean-Paul Sartre
Who can exhaust a man? Who knows a man's resources?
Jean-Paul Sartre
Photographs are not ideas. They give us ideas.
Jean-Paul Sartre
As far as men go, it is not what they are that interests me, but what they can become.
Jean-Paul Sartre
People who live in society have learnt how to see themselves, in mirrors, as they appear to their friends. I have no friends: is that why my flesh is so naked?
Jean-Paul Sartre
I will not be modest. Humble, as much as you like, but not modest. Modesty is the virtue of the lukewarm.
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
The world would get along very well without literature. It would get along even better without man.
Jean-Paul Sartre
L'homme est une passion inutile. Man is a useless passion.
Jean-Paul Sartre
There is no love apart from the deeds of love no potentiality of love other than that which is manifested in loving.
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
