More quotes by Jean-Paul Sartre

Jean-Paul Sartre

Jean-Paul Sartre

Jean-Paul Sartre
L'homme est une passion inutile. Man is a useless passion.
Jean-Paul Sartre
I never could bear the idea of anyone's expecting something from me. It always made me want to do just the opposite.
Jean-Paul Sartre
Ha! to forget. How childish! I feel you in my bones. Your silence screams in my ears. You may nail your mouth shut, you may cut out your tongue, can you keep yourself from existing? Will you stop your thoughts.
Jean-Paul Sartre
It is therefore senseless to think of complaining since nothing foreign has decided what we feel, what we live, or what we are.
Jean-Paul Sartre
I think [Alain Robbe-Grillet] a good writer, but he speaks to the comfortable bourgeoisie.
Jean-Paul Sartre
To choose not to choose is still to act.
Jean-Paul Sartre
God is absence. God is the solitude of man.
Jean-Paul Sartre
There is no book of mine that I reject. That does not mean that I find them good.
Jean-Paul Sartre
Respectable society believed in God in order to avoid having to speak about him.
Jean-Paul Sartre
A man is involved in life, leaves his impress on it, and outside of that there is nothing.
Jean-Paul Sartre
Il n'y a de réalité que dans l'action. (There is no reality except in action.)
Jean-Paul Sartre
Life gave me everything I asked If all I asked was not a great deal, that's my problem!
Jean-Paul Sartre
In order to make myself recognized by the Other, I must risk my own life. To risk one's life, in fact, is to reveal oneself as not-bound to the objective form or to any determined existence — as not-bound to life.
Jean-Paul Sartre
Generosity is nothing else than a craze to possess. All which I abandon, all which I give, I enjoy in a higher manner through the fact that I give it away. To give is to enjoy possessively the object which one gives.
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
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
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
