Image
Words There is no good father, that's the rule. Don't lay the blame on men but on the bond of paternity, which is rotten. To beget children, nothing better to have them, what iniquity!
Jean-Paul Sartre
Image
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
Image
To keep hope alive one must, in spite of all mistakes, horrors, and crimes, recognize the obvious superiority of the socialist camp.
Jean-Paul Sartre
Image
Is there really nothing, nothing left of me?
Jean-Paul Sartre
Image
I want to leave, to go somewhere where I should be really in my place, where I would fit in . . . but my place is nowhere I am unwanted.
Jean-Paul Sartre
Image
Man is nothing else but what he purposes, he exists only in so far as he realizes himself, he is therefore nothing else but the sum of his actions, nothing else but what his life is.
Jean-Paul Sartre
Image
It is certain that we cannot escape anguish, for we are anguish.
Jean-Paul Sartre
Image
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
Image
There are two kinds of existentialist first, those who are Christian...and on the other hand the atheistic existentialists, among whom...I class myself. What they have in common is that they think that existence precedes essence, or, if you prefer, that subjectivity must be the turning point.
Jean-Paul Sartre
Image
So much torture, bloodshed, deceit. You cannot make your young people practice torture twenty-four hours a day and not expect to pay a price for it.
Jean-Paul Sartre
Image
I entered the Communist Party because its cause was just and I will leave it when it ceases to be just.
Jean-Paul Sartre
Image
Abjection is a methodological conversion, like Cartesian doubt and Husserlian epoche: it establishes the world as a closed system which consciousness regards from without, in the manner of divine understanding.
Jean-Paul Sartre
Image
The consciousness that says 'I am' is not the consciousness that thinks.
Jean-Paul Sartre
Image
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
Image
Existence is an imperfection.
Jean-Paul Sartre
Image
It’s the well-behaved children that make the most formidable revolutionaries. They don’t say a word, they don’t hide under the table, they eat only one piece of chocolate at a time. But later on, they make society pay dearly.
Jean-Paul Sartre
Image
It is no longer possible to escape men. Farewell to the monsters, farewell to the saints. Farewell to pride. All that is left is men.
Jean-Paul Sartre
Image
There is no book of mine that I reject. That does not mean that I find them good.
Jean-Paul Sartre
Image
I can always choose, but I ought to know that if I do not choose, I am still choosing.
Jean-Paul Sartre
Image
An individual chooses and makes himself.
