More quotes by Jean-Paul Sartre
Violence is good for those who have nothing to lose.
Jean-Paul Sartre
I am neither virgin nor priest enough to play with the inner life.
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
Politics is a science. You can demonstrate that you are right and that others are wrong.
Jean-Paul Sartre
Life gave me everything I asked If all I asked was not a great deal, that's my problem!
Jean-Paul Sartre
That is exactly the writer's problem. What does literature stand for in a hungry world?
Jean-Paul Sartre
Take [Stéphane] Mallarme. I hold him to be the greatest of French poets, and I have taken some time to understand him !
Jean-Paul Sartre
I maintain that inversion is the effect of neither a prenatal choice nor an endocrinal malformation nor even the passive and determined result of complexes. It is an outlet that a child discovers when he is suffocating.
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
I can receive nothing more from these tragic solitudes than a little empty purity.
Jean-Paul Sartre
One always dies too soon or too late. And yet, life is there, finished: the line is drawn, and it must all be added up. You are nothing other than your life.
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
Once freedom lights its beacon in man's heart, the gods are powerless against him.
Jean-Paul Sartre
Better a good journalist than a poor assassin.
Jean-Paul Sartre
Perhaps its inevitable, perhaps one has to choose between being nothing at all and impersonating what one is.
Jean-Paul Sartre
Man is fully responsible for his nature and his choices.
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
So much torture, bloodshed, deceit. You cannot make your young people practice torture twenty-four hours a day and not expect to pay a price for it.
Jean-Paul Sartre
It is always more valuable to report the truth.
Jean-Paul Sartre
We must act out passion before we can feel it.
Jean-Paul Sartre
