Jean-Paul Sartre

It is certain that we cannot escape anguish, for we are anguish.
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
Violence is good for those who have nothing to lose.
Jean-Paul Sartre
Commitment is an act, not a word.
Jean-Paul Sartre
There may be more beautiful times, but this one is ours.
