More quotes by Jean-Paul Sartre
Yes, I am so free. And what a superb absence is my soul.
Jean-Paul Sartre
I have nothing but contempt for you idiotic chosen ones who have the heart to rejoice when there are the damned in Hell and the poor on earth as for me, I am on the side of men and I will not leave it.
Jean-Paul Sartre
You are -- your life, and nothing else.
Jean-Paul Sartre
The individual's duty is to do what he wants to do, to think whatever he likes, to be accountable to no one but himself, to challenge every idea and every person.
Jean-Paul Sartre
If you are lonely when you're alone, you are in bad company.
Jean-Paul Sartre
On my way to the office in the morning, there are, in front of me, behind me, other men going to their jobs. I see them if I dared, I would smile at them. I think to myself that I am a socialist, that they are the purpose of my life, of my efforts and that they do not know it yet.
Jean-Paul Sartre
This then is the age of reason.
Jean-Paul Sartre
Love or hatred calls for self-surrender. He cuts a fine figure, the warm-blooded, prosperous man, solidly entrenched in his well-being, who one fine day surrenders all to love—or to hatred himself, his house, his land, his memories.
Jean-Paul Sartre
When one loves animals and children too much, one loves them against human beings.
Jean-Paul Sartre
So long as one believes in God, one has the right to do the Good in order to be moral.
Jean-Paul Sartre
I construct my memories with my present. I am lost, abandoned in the present. I try in vain to rejoin the past: I cannot escape.
Jean-Paul Sartre
She believed in nothing only her skepticism kept her from being an atheist.
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
That is exactly the writer's problem. What does literature stand for in a hungry world?
Jean-Paul Sartre
Politics is a science. You can demonstrate that you are right and that others are wrong.
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
There is no human nature, since there is no god to conceive it.
Jean-Paul Sartre
This is the basis for the joy of love when there is joy we feel that our existence is justified.
Jean-Paul Sartre
One is still what one is going to cease to be and already what one is going to become. One lives one's death, one dies one's life.
Jean-Paul Sartre
Night is falling: at dusk, you must have good eyesight to be able to tell the Good Lord from the Devil.
Jean-Paul Sartre
