Heroism is not to be won at the point of a pen.
Jean-Paul Sartre
I was a neophyte in another world [in 1954].
Jean-Paul Sartre
Ha! to forget. How childish! I feel you in my bones. Your silence screams in my ears. You may nail your mouth shut, you may cut out your tongue, can you keep yourself from existing? Will you stop your thoughts.
Jean-Paul Sartre
The universe remains dark. We are animals struck by catastrophe.
Jean-Paul Sartre
At that time [1954], as a result of political events, I was deeply preoccupied by my relations with the Communist Party.
Jean-Paul Sartre
Every age has its own poetry in every age the circumstances of history choose a nation, a race, a class to take up the torch by creating situations that can be expressed or transcended only through poetry.
Jean-Paul Sartre
I tell you in truth: all men are Prophets or else God does not exist.
Jean-Paul Sartre
emotion is first of all and in principle an accident
Jean-Paul Sartre
Why do you keep maintaining your ideas are right if you can't prove them?
Jean-Paul Sartre
You see, I'm fond of teasing, it's a second nature with me—and I'm used to teasing myself. Plaguing myself, if you prefer I don't tease nicely.
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
Take [Stéphane] Mallarme. I hold him to be the greatest of French poets, and I have taken some time to understand him !
Jean-Paul Sartre
your judgement judges you and defines you
Jean-Paul Sartre
This then is the age of reason.
Jean-Paul Sartre
I consider Les Nourritures Terrestres as a frightening book: Look for God in no other place than everywhere. Go and tell that to a workman, an engineer!
Jean-Paul Sartre
Nothing happens while you live. The scenery changes, people come in and go out, that's all. There are no beginnings. Days are tacked on to days without rhyme or reason, an interminable, monotonous addition.
Jean-Paul Sartre
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
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
One should commit no stupidity twice, the variety of choice is, in the end, large enough.
Jean-Paul Sartre
As if there could be true stories: things happen in one way, and we retell them in the opposite way.
Jean-Paul Sartre
