More quotes by Jean-Paul Sartre
[Andre] Gide can say it to me: it is a writer's morality only addressed to a few privileged people. For that reason it no longer interests me.
Jean-Paul Sartre
My pessimism has never been flabby.
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
I am neither virgin nor priest enough to play with the inner life.
Jean-Paul Sartre
She believed in nothing only her skepticism kept her from being an atheist.
Jean-Paul Sartre
In the state I was in, if someone had come and told me I could go home quietly, that they would leave me my life whole, it would have left me cold: several hours or several years of waiting is all the same when you have lost the illusion of being eternal.
Jean-Paul Sartre
If you die, I will lie down beside you and I will stay there until the end, without eating or drinking, you will rot in my arms and I will love you as carcass: for you love nothing if you do not love everything.
Jean-Paul Sartre
Every age has its own poetry in every age the circumstances of history choose a nation, a race, a class to take up the torch by creating situations that can be expressed or transcended only through poetry.
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
As for me, I am mean: that means that I need the suffering of others to exist. A flame. A flame in their hearts. When I am all alone, I am extinguished.
Jean-Paul Sartre
There is no book of mine that I reject. That does not mean that I find them good.
Jean-Paul Sartre
Violence is good for those who have nothing to lose.
Jean-Paul Sartre
Yes, I am so free. And what a superb absence is my soul.
Jean-Paul Sartre
As far as men go, it is not what they are that interests me, but what they can become.
Jean-Paul Sartre
It is enough that one man hate another for hate to gain, little by little, all mankind.
Jean-Paul Sartre
What I see is teeming cohesion, contained dispersal... For him, to sculpt is to take the fat off space.
Jean-Paul Sartre
Un homme n'est rien d'autre qu'une se rie d'entreprises. A man is no other than a series of undertakings.
Jean-Paul Sartre
It is the same: a chosen one is a man whom God's finger crushes against the wall.
Jean-Paul Sartre
A man is involved in life, leaves his impress on it, and outside of that there is nothing.
Jean-Paul Sartre
Il n'y a pas d'autre univers qu'un univers humain, l'univers de la subjectivite humaine. There is no other universe except the human universe, the universe of human subjectivity.
Jean-Paul Sartre
