Image
With despair, true optimism begins: the optimism of the man who expects nothing, who knows he has no rights and nothing coming to him, who rejoices in counting on himself alone and in acting alone for the good of all.
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
You must be afraid, my son. That is how one becomes an honest citizen.
Jean-Paul Sartre
Image
Man is always separated from what he is by all the breadth of the being which he is not. He makes himself known to himself from the other side of the world and he looks from the horizon toward himself to recover his inner being.
Jean-Paul Sartre

When we love animals and children too much, we love them at the expense of men.
Jean-Paul Sartre

Jean-Paul Sartre
Image
Man is abandoned on earth in the midst of his infinite responsibilities, without help, with no aim but what he sets himself.
Jean-Paul Sartre
Image
The revolution you dream of is not ours. You don't want to change the world you want to blow it up.
Jean-Paul Sartre
Image
Lord, you have cursed Cain and Cain’s children: thy will be done. You have allowed men’s hearts to be corrupted, that their intentions be rotten, that their actions putrefy and stink: thy will be done.
Jean-Paul Sartre
Image
Perhaps its inevitable, perhaps one has to choose between being nothing at all and impersonating what one is.
Jean-Paul Sartre
Image
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
Image
The best work is not what is most difficult for you it is what you do best.
Jean-Paul Sartre
Image
It's just what people do when they're getting old, when they're sick of themselves and their life they think of money and take care of themselves.
Jean-Paul Sartre
Image
Generosity is nothing else than a craze to possess. All which I abandon, all which I give, I enjoy in a higher manner through the fact that I give it away. To give is to enjoy possessively the object which one gives.
Jean-Paul Sartre
Image
I tell you in truth: all men are Prophets or else God does not exist.
Jean-Paul Sartre
Image
I needed to justify my existence, and I had made an absolute of literature. It took me thirty years to get rid of this state of mind.
