More quotes by Jean-Paul Sartre
For an occurrence to become an adventure, it is necessary and sufficient for one to recount it.
Jean-Paul Sartre
There are two ways of destroying a people. Either condemn them en bloc or force them to repudiate the leaders they adopted. The second is the worse.
Jean-Paul Sartre
I have no religion, but if I were to choose one, it would be that of Shariati's.
Jean-Paul Sartre

Jean-Paul Sartre
The past is the luxury of proprietors.
Jean-Paul Sartre
Like all dreamers, I mistook disenchantment for truth.
Jean-Paul Sartre
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
The lad who dreams of being a boxing champion or an admiral chooses reality. If the writer chooses the imaginary, he confuses the two.
Jean-Paul Sartre
The recent experiences of pocketbooks prove this. I have changed my public since my works have been published in a smaller format.
Jean-Paul Sartre
My eyes feel all soft, all soft as flesh. I'm going to sleep.
Jean-Paul Sartre
We are possessed by the things we possess. When I like an object, I always give it to someone. It isn't generosity-it's only because I want others to be enslaved by objects, not me.
Jean-Paul Sartre
Freedom is existence, and in it existence precedes essence.
Jean-Paul Sartre
God is the solitude of men. There was only me: I alone decided to commit Evil alone, I invented Good. I am the one who cheated, I am the one who performed miracles, I am the one accusing myself today, I alone can absolve myself me, the man.
Jean-Paul Sartre
One should commit no stupidity twice, the variety of choice is, in the end, large enough.
Jean-Paul Sartre
A pale reflection of myself wavers in my consciousness...and suddenly the “I” pales, pales, and fades out.
Jean-Paul Sartre
it was odd, he thought, that a man could hate himself as though he were someone else.
Jean-Paul Sartre
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
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
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
Atheism is a cruel long term business, and I have gone through it to the end.
Jean-Paul Sartre
