More quotes by Jean-Paul Sartre
Be quiet! Anyone can spit in my face, and call me a criminal and a prostitute. But no one has the right to judge my remorse.
Jean-Paul Sartre
Existence is prior to essence.
Jean-Paul Sartre
I have always been an optimist, perhaps even too much.
Jean-Paul Sartre
I am not asking for sensational revelations, but I would like to sense the meaning of that minute, to feel it's urgency.
Jean-Paul Sartre
There are two ways of destroying a people. Either condemn them en bloc or force them to repudiate the leaders they adopted. The second is the worse.
Jean-Paul Sartre
Objects should not touch because they are not alive. You use them, put them back in place, you live among them: they are useful, nothing more. But they touch me, it is unbearable. I am afraid of being in contact with them as though they were living beasts.
Jean-Paul Sartre
Is there really nothing, nothing left of me?
Jean-Paul Sartre
What then did you expect when you unbound the gag that muted those black mouths? That they would chant your praises? Did you think that when those heads that our fathers had forcibly bowed down to the ground were raised again, you would find adoration in their eyes?
Jean-Paul Sartre
Generosity is nothing else than a craze to possess. All which I abandon, all which I give, I enjoy in a higher manner through the fact that I give it away. To give is to enjoy possessively the object which one gives.
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
your judgement judges you and defines you
Jean-Paul Sartre
I'm going to smile, and my smile will sink down into your pupils, and heaven knows what it will become.
Jean-Paul Sartre
When the rich [and politically powerful] make war, it's the poor [and politically weak] who die.
Jean-Paul Sartre
In a word, man must create his own essence: it is in throwing himself into the world, suffering there, struggling there, that he gradually defines himself.
Jean-Paul Sartre
You must be afraid, my son. That is how one becomes an honest citizen.
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
The universe remains dark. We are animals struck by catastrophe.
Jean-Paul Sartre
Man is nothing else but what he makes of himself.
Jean-Paul Sartre
It is certain that we cannot escape anguish, for we are anguish.
Jean-Paul Sartre
If you seek authenticity for authenticity's sake you are no longer authentic.
Jean-Paul Sartre
