Jean-Paul Sartre
All human actions are equivalent... and all are on principle doomed to failure.

Jean-Paul Sartre

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
All that I know about my life, it seems, I have learned in books.
Jean-Paul Sartre
All I can do is make the best of what I am, become accustomed to it, evaluate the possibilities, and take advantage of them the best I can.
Jean-Paul Sartre
An individual chooses and makes himself.
Jean-Paul Sartre
The revolution you dream of is not ours. You don't want to change the world you want to blow it up.
Jean-Paul Sartre
My pessimism has never been flabby.
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
I have no religion, but if I were to choose one, it would be that of Shariati's.
Jean-Paul Sartre
