Jean-Paul Sartre
Remember, Orestes: you were part of my herd, you grazed in the fields along with my sheep. Your liberty is nothing but a mange eating away at you, it is nothing but an exile.
Jean-Paul Sartre
All-powerful god, who am I but the fear that I inspire in others?
Jean-Paul Sartre
No finite point has meaning without an infinite reference point.
Jean-Paul Sartre
One should commit no stupidity twice, the variety of choice is, in the end, large enough.
