More quotes by Jean-Paul Sartre
The more absurd life is, the more insupportable death is.
Jean-Paul Sartre
Neither sex, without some fertilization of the complimentary characters of the other, is capable of the highest reaches of human endeavor.
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
This desire [to write] is rather strange all the same and is not without a certain cracked quality.
Jean-Paul Sartre
All that I know about my life, it seems, I have learned in books.
Jean-Paul Sartre
Atheism is a cruel long term business, and I have gone through it to the end.
Jean-Paul Sartre
I had spent my time counterfeiting eternity.
Jean-Paul Sartre
Before you come alive, life is nothing it 's up to you to give it a meaning, and value is nothing else but the meaning that you choose.
Jean-Paul Sartre
Everything comes to us from others. To Be is to belong to someone.
Jean-Paul Sartre
I was a neophyte in another world [in 1954].
Jean-Paul Sartre
When we love animals and children too much, we love them at the expense of men.
Jean-Paul Sartre
Criminals together. We're in hell, my little friend, and there's never any mistake there. People are not damned for nothing.
Jean-Paul Sartre
For the time being I have seen enough of living things, of dogs, of men, of all flabby masses which move spontaneously.
Jean-Paul Sartre
Perception is naturally surpassed toward action better yet, it can be revealed only in and through projects of action. The world is revealed as an always future hollow, for we are always future to ourselves.
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
I'm going to smile, and my smile will sink down into your pupils, and heaven knows what it will become.
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 discovered suddenly that alienation, exploitation of man by man, under-nourishment, relegated to the background metaphysical evil which is a luxury.
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
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
