More quotes by Jean-Paul Sartre

Jean-Paul Sartre

Jean-Paul Sartre

Jean-Paul Sartre

Jean-Paul Sartre
So long as one believes in God, one has the right to do the Good in order to be moral.
Jean-Paul Sartre
It is disgusting -- Why must we have bodies?
Jean-Paul Sartre
it was odd, he thought, that a man could hate himself as though he were someone else.
Jean-Paul Sartre
Existence is prior to essence.
Jean-Paul Sartre
Consciousness is a being the nature of which is to be conscious of the nothingness of its being.
Jean-Paul Sartre
That is exactly the writer's problem. What does literature stand for in a hungry world?
Jean-Paul Sartre
Uncalled-for aggression arouses the hatred of the civilian population.
Jean-Paul Sartre
