More quotes by Jean-Paul Sartre
I am not asking for sensational revelations, but I would like to sense the meaning of that minute, to feel it's urgency.
Jean-Paul Sartre
I had spent my time counterfeiting eternity.
Jean-Paul Sartre
Little flashes of sun on the surface of a cold, dark sea.
Jean-Paul Sartre
I needed to justify my existence, and I had made an absolute of literature. It took me thirty years to get rid of this state of mind.
Jean-Paul Sartre
She believed in nothing only her skepticism kept her from being an atheist.
Jean-Paul Sartre
Once freedom lights its beacon in man's heart, the gods are powerless against him.
Jean-Paul Sartre
Therefore, in the nature of this will for freedom, which freedom itself implies, I may pass judgement on those who seek to hide from themselves the complete arbitrariness and the complete freedom of their existence.
Jean-Paul Sartre
The revolution you dream of is not ours. You don't want to change the world you want to blow it up.
Jean-Paul Sartre
I am neither virgin nor priest enough to play with the inner life.
Jean-Paul Sartre
The plight of modern man is that he is condemmed to be free.
Jean-Paul Sartre
Un homme n'est rien d'autre qu'une se rie d'entreprises. A man is no other than a series of undertakings.
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
Torture is senseless violence, born in fear... torture costs human lives but does not save them. We would almost be too lucky if these crimes were the work of savages: the truth is that torture makes torturers.
Jean-Paul Sartre
it was odd, he thought, that a man could hate himself as though he were someone else.
Jean-Paul Sartre
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.
Jean-Paul Sartre
It is certain that we cannot escape anguish, for we are anguish.
Jean-Paul Sartre
Uncalled-for aggression arouses the hatred of the civilian population.
Jean-Paul Sartre
Good digestions, the gray monotony of provincial life, and the boredom-ah the soul-destroying boredom-of long days of mild content.
Jean-Paul Sartre
I construct my memories with my present. I am lost, abandoned in the present. I try in vain to rejoin the past: I cannot escape.
Jean-Paul Sartre
Like morality, literature needs to be universal. So that the writer must put himself on the side of the majority, of the two billion starving, if he wishes to be able to speak to all and be read by all. Failing that, he is at the service of a privileged class and, like it, an exploiter.
Jean-Paul Sartre
