Image
This then is the age of reason.
Jean-Paul Sartre
Image
God is dead. Let us not understand by this that he does not exist or even that he no longer exists. He is dead. He spoke to us and is silent. We no longer have anything but his cadaver. Perhaps he slipped out of the world, somewhere else like the soul of a dead man. Perhaps he was only a dream...God is dead.
Jean-Paul Sartre
Image
emotion is first of all and in principle an accident
Jean-Paul Sartre
Image
What do we mean by saying that existence precedes essence? We mean that man first of all exists, encounters himself, surges up in the world-and defines himself afterward.
Jean-Paul Sartre
Image
I'm going to smile, and my smile will sink down into your pupils, and heaven knows what it will become.
Jean-Paul Sartre
Image
Existence is not something which lets itself be thought of form a distance it must invade you suddenly, master you, weigh heavily on your heart like a great motionless beast - or else there is nothing at all.
Jean-Paul Sartre
Image
Heroism is not to be won at the point of a pen.
Jean-Paul Sartre
Image
God is absence. God is the solitude of man.
Jean-Paul Sartre
Image
Yes, I am so free. And what a superb absence is my soul.
Jean-Paul Sartre
Image
The characteristic of every neurosis is to represent itself as natural.
Jean-Paul Sartre
Image
L'homme est une passion inutile. Man is a useless passion.
Jean-Paul Sartre
Image
Thrown into the atmosphere of action [in 1954], I suddenly understood the kind of neurosis that dominated all my previous work. I had not been able to recognize it before: I was inside. Simone de Beauvoir had guessed these reasons before I did.
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
A pale reflection of myself wavers in my consciousness...and suddenly the “I” pales, pales, and fades out.
Jean-Paul Sartre
Image
All-powerful god, who am I but the fear that I inspire in others?
Jean-Paul Sartre
Image
I receive letters from workers, from secretaries. . . . They are the most interesting ones.
Jean-Paul Sartre
Image
I do not understand! I understand nothing! I cannot understand nor do I want to understand! I want to believe! To Believe!
Jean-Paul Sartre
Image
The absurd man will not commit suicide he wants to live, without relinquishing any of his certainty, without a future, without hope, without illusions … and without resignation either. He stares at death with passionate attention and this fascination liberates him. He experiences the “divine irresponsibility” of the condemned man.
Jean-Paul Sartre
Image
A lost battle is a battle one thinks one has lost.
Jean-Paul Sartre
Image
Perhaps its inevitable, perhaps one has to choose between being nothing at all and impersonating what one is.
