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
In order to make myself recognized by the Other, I must risk my own life. To risk one's life, in fact, is to reveal oneself as not-bound to the objective form or to any determined existence — as not-bound to life.
Jean-Paul Sartre
Uncalled-for aggression arouses the hatred of the civilian population.
Jean-Paul Sartre
Something begins in order to end: an adventure doesn't let itself be extended it achieves significance only through its death.
