More quotes by Jean-Paul Sartre
Man is nothing else but what he makes of himself.
Jean-Paul Sartre
Yes, I am so free. And what a superb absence is my soul.
Jean-Paul Sartre
The more absurd life is, the more insupportable death is.
Jean-Paul Sartre
We do not know what we want and yet we are responsible for what we are - that is the fact.
Jean-Paul Sartre
Words There is no good father, that's the rule. Don't lay the blame on men but on the bond of paternity, which is rotten. To beget children, nothing better to have them, what iniquity!
Jean-Paul Sartre
People who live in society have learnt how to see themselves, in mirrors, as they appear to their friends. I have no friends: is that why my flesh is so naked?
Jean-Paul Sartre
No finite point has meaning without an infinite reference point.
Jean-Paul Sartre
Torture is senseless violence, born in fear... torture costs human lives but does not save them. We would almost be too lucky if these crimes were the work of savages: the truth is that torture makes torturers.
Jean-Paul Sartre
So that is what hell is. I would never have believed it. You remember: the fire and brimstone, the torture. Ah! the farce. There is no need for torture: Hell is other people.
Jean-Paul Sartre
Existence is an imperfection.
Jean-Paul Sartre
I have always been an optimist, perhaps even too much.
Jean-Paul Sartre
My pessimism has never been flabby.
Jean-Paul Sartre
He is always becoming, and if it were not for the contingency of death, he would never end.
Jean-Paul Sartre
All human actions are equivalent... and all are on principle doomed to failure.
Jean-Paul Sartre
A pale reflection of myself wavers in my consciousness...and suddenly the “I” pales, pales, and fades out.
Jean-Paul Sartre
It’s the well-behaved children that make the most formidable revolutionaries. They don’t say a word, they don’t hide under the table, they eat only one piece of chocolate at a time. But later on, they make society pay dearly.
Jean-Paul Sartre
We must act out passion before we can feel it.
Jean-Paul Sartre
For common minds have an ugly ability to perceive in the deepest and richest saying nothing but their own everyday opinion.
Jean-Paul Sartre
[Contemporary writer] could be a kind of [Samuel] Beckett who would not be felt to be totally committed to despair.
Jean-Paul Sartre
If you are lonely when you're alone, you are in bad company.
Jean-Paul Sartre
