More quotes by Jean-Paul Sartre
Everything comes to us from others. To Be is to belong to someone.
Jean-Paul Sartre
Through the lack of attaching myself to words, my thoughts remain nebulous most of the time. They sketch vague, pleasant shapes and then are swallowed up I forget them almost immediately.
Jean-Paul Sartre
Man is fully responsible for his nature and his choices.
Jean-Paul Sartre
An individual chooses and makes himself.
Jean-Paul Sartre
Handing over a bank note is enough to make a bicycle belong to me, but my entire life is needed to realize this possession.
Jean-Paul Sartre
My thought is me: that's why I can't stop. I exist because I think… and I can't stop myself from thinking. At this very moment - it's frightful - if I exist, it is because I am horrified at existing. I am the one who pulls myself from the nothingness to which I aspire.
Jean-Paul Sartre
I receive letters from workers, from secretaries. . . . They are the most interesting ones.
Jean-Paul Sartre
I can receive nothing more from these tragic solitudes than a little empty purity.
Jean-Paul Sartre
It is no longer possible to escape men. Farewell to the monsters, farewell to the saints. Farewell to pride. All that is left is men.
Jean-Paul Sartre
Little flashes of sun on the surface of a cold, dark sea.
Jean-Paul Sartre
Being is. Being is in-itself. Being is what it is.
Jean-Paul Sartre
God is absence. God is the solitude of man.
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
I want to leave, to go somewhere where I should be really in my place, where I would fit in . . . but my place is nowhere I am unwanted.
Jean-Paul Sartre
Man's existence precedes his essence
Jean-Paul Sartre
I know only one Church: it is the society of men.
Jean-Paul Sartre
If I did not publish this autobiography [Les Mots] sooner and in its most radical form, it is because I considered it exaggerated.
Jean-Paul Sartre
A madman's ravings are absurd in relation to the situation in which he finds himself, but not in relation to his madness.
Jean-Paul Sartre
I have nothing but contempt for you idiotic chosen ones who have the heart to rejoice when there are the damned in Hell and the poor on earth as for me, I am on the side of men and I will not leave it.
Jean-Paul Sartre
All human actions are equivalent... and all are on principle doomed to failure.
Jean-Paul Sartre
