More quotes by Jean-Paul Sartre
I construct my memories with my present. I am lost, abandoned in the present. I try in vain to rejoin the past: I cannot escape.
Jean-Paul Sartre
Photographs are not ideas. They give us ideas.
Jean-Paul Sartre
Everything is gratuitous, this garden, this city and myself. When you suddenly realize it, it makes you feel sick and everything begins to drift . . . that's nausea.
Jean-Paul Sartre
We only become what we are by the radical and deep-seated refusal of that which others have made of us.
Jean-Paul Sartre
All that I know about my life, it seems, I have learned in books.
Jean-Paul Sartre
One could only damage oneself through the harm one did to others. One could never get directly at oneself.
Jean-Paul Sartre
A kiss without a moustache, they said then, is like an egg without salt I will add to it: and it is like Good without Evil.
Jean-Paul Sartre
One cannot become a saint when one works sixteen hours a day.
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
A pale reflection of myself wavers in my consciousness...and suddenly the “I” pales, pales, and fades out.
Jean-Paul Sartre
You take souls for vegetables.... The gardener can decide what will become of his carrots but no one can choose the good of others for them.
Jean-Paul Sartre
Perhaps its inevitable, perhaps one has to choose between being nothing at all and impersonating what one is.
Jean-Paul Sartre
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
You know how much I admire Che Guevara. In fact, I believe that the man was not only an intellectual but also the most complete human being of our age: as a fighter and as a man, as a theoretician who was able to further the cause of revolution by drawing his theories from his personal experience in battle.
Jean-Paul Sartre
One should commit no stupidity twice, the variety of choice is, in the end, large enough.
Jean-Paul Sartre
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
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
Originally, poetry creates the myth, while the prose-writer draws its portrait.
Jean-Paul Sartre
Is there really nothing, nothing left of me?
Jean-Paul Sartre
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
