More quotes by Jean-Paul Sartre
I think [Alain Robbe-Grillet] a good writer, but he speaks to the comfortable bourgeoisie.
Jean-Paul Sartre
Man is always separated from what he is by all the breadth of the being which he is not. He makes himself known to himself from the other side of the world and he looks from the horizon toward himself to recover his inner being.
Jean-Paul Sartre
I have always been happy. Even if I had been more honest with regard to myself at that moment I should still have written La Nausee.
Jean-Paul Sartre
Yes, I am so free. And what a superb absence is my soul.
Jean-Paul Sartre
To be responsible is to be the uncontested author of an event or thing.
Jean-Paul Sartre
It is the same: a chosen one is a man whom God's finger crushes against the wall.
Jean-Paul Sartre
What I lacked [in La Nausee] was a sense of reality. I have changed since. I have slowly learned to experience reality.
Jean-Paul Sartre
He is always becoming, and if it were not for the contingency of death, he would never end.
Jean-Paul Sartre
Respectable society believed in God in order to avoid having to speak about him.
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
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
There is no human nature, since there is no god to conceive it.
Jean-Paul Sartre
Freedom is existence, and in it existence precedes essence.
Jean-Paul Sartre
You see, the contemporary writer must write through his intimations of unease, while trying to elucidate them.
Jean-Paul Sartre
I have seen children dying of hunger. Over against a dying child La Nausee cannot act as a counterweight.
Jean-Paul Sartre
My pessimism has never been flabby.
Jean-Paul Sartre
Handing over a bank note is enough to make a bicycle belong to me, but my entire life is needed to realize this possession.
Jean-Paul Sartre
What do I care about Jupiter? Justice is a human issue, and I do not need a god to teach it to me.
Jean-Paul Sartre
One should commit no stupidity twice, the variety of choice is, in the end, large enough.
Jean-Paul Sartre
Like all dreamers, I mistook disenchantment for truth.
Jean-Paul Sartre
