I do not give a damn about the dead. They died for the [Communist] Party and the Party can decide what it wants. I practice a live man's politics, for the living.

More quotes by Jean-Paul Sartre
This desire [to write] is rather strange all the same and is not without a certain cracked quality.
Jean-Paul Sartre
When we love animals and children too much, we love them at the expense of men.
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
Once we know and are aware, we are responsible for our action and our inaction. We can do something about it or ignore it. Either way, we are still responsible.
Jean-Paul Sartre
Perhaps its inevitable, perhaps one has to choose between being nothing at all and impersonating what one is.
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 am neither virgin nor priest enough to play with the inner life.
Jean-Paul Sartre
The individual's duty is to do what he wants to do, to think whatever he likes, to be accountable to no one but himself, to challenge every idea and every person.
Jean-Paul Sartre
At that time [1954], as a result of political events, I was deeply preoccupied by my relations with the Communist Party.
Jean-Paul Sartre
I am alone in this white, garden-rimmed street. Alone and free. But this freedom is rather like death.
Jean-Paul Sartre
the worst part about being lied to is knowing you werent worth the truth
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
It is meaningless that we are born, it is meaningless that we die.
Jean-Paul Sartre
emotion is first of all and in principle an accident
Jean-Paul Sartre
My eyes feel all soft, all soft as flesh. I'm going to sleep.
Jean-Paul Sartre
I maintain that inversion is the effect of neither a prenatal choice nor an endocrinal malformation nor even the passive and determined result of complexes. It is an outlet that a child discovers when he is suffocating.
Jean-Paul Sartre
I have always been happy. Even if I had been more honest with regard to myself at that moment I should still have written La Nausee.
Jean-Paul Sartre
Objects should not touch because they are not alive. You use them, put them back in place, you live among them: they are useful, nothing more. But they touch me, it is unbearable. I am afraid of being in contact with them as though they were living beasts.
Jean-Paul Sartre
L'homme est une passion inutile. Man is a useless passion.
Jean-Paul Sartre
I am not virtuous. Our sons will be if we shed enough blood to give them the right to be.
Jean-Paul Sartre
