[M]an is condemned to be free...

[M]an is condemned to be free. Condemned, because he did not create himself, in other respect is free; because, once thrown into the world, he is responsible for everything he does. The Existentialist does not believe in the power of passion. He will never agree that a sweeping passion is a ravaging torrent which fatally leads a man to certain acts and is therefore an excuse. He thinks that man is responsible for his passion.

Jean-Paul Sartre 479 quotes

The absurd man will not commi...

The absurd man will not commit suicide; he wants to live, without relinquishing any of his certainty, without a future, without hope, without illusions … and without resignation either. He stares at death with passionate attention and this fascination liberates him. He experiences the “divine irresponsibility” of the condemned man.

Jean-Paul Sartre 479 quotes

Several hours or several years make no difference once you have lost eternity.

Jean-Paul Sartre 479 quotes

The consciousness that says '...

The consciousness that says 'I am' is not the consciousness that thinks.

Jean-Paul Sartre 479 quotes

Nothing happens while you liv...

Nothing happens while you live. The scenery changes, people come in and go out, that's all. There are no beginnings. Days are tacked on to days without rhyme or reason, an interminable, monotonous addition.

Jean-Paul Sartre 479 quotes

One of the chief motives of a...

One of the chief motives of artistic creation is certainly the need of feeling that we are essential in relationship to the world.

Jean-Paul Sartre 479 quotes

Our responsibility is much greater than we might have supposed, because it involves all mankind.

I want to leave, to go somewhere where I should be really in my place, where I would fit in . . . but my place is nowhere; I am unwanted.

Uncalled-for aggression arouses the hatred of the civilian population.

Every human endeavor, however singular it seems, involves the whole human race.

Jean-Paul Sartre 479 quotes

Naturally, in the course of my life I have made lots of mistakes, large and small, for one reason or another, but at the heart of it all, every time I made a mistake it was because I was not radical enough.

Jean-Paul Sartre 479 quotes

He walked on in silence, the ...

He walked on in silence, the solitary sound of his footsteps echoing in his head, as in a deserted street, at dawn. His solitude was so complete, beneath a lovely sky as mellow and serene as a good conscience, amid that busy throng, that he was amazed at his own existence; he must be somebody else's nightmare, and whoever it was would certainly awaken soon.

Jean-Paul Sartre 479 quotes

I committed the first crime by creating men as mortals. After that, what more could you do, you the murderers? Come on; they already had death in them: at most you simply hastened things a little.

Jean-Paul Sartre 479 quotes

Life is nothing until it is l...

Life is nothing until it is lived; but it is yours to make sense of, and the of it is nothing other than the sense you choose.

Jean-Paul Sartre 479 quotes

We cannot withdraw our cards from the game. Were we as silent and mute as stones, our very passivity would be an act.

Jean-Paul Sartre 479 quotes

The viable jewels of life remain untouched when man forgets his vocation of searching for the truth of his existence.

Jean-Paul Sartre 479 quotes

I suppose it is out of laziness that the world is the same day after day. Today it seemed to want to change. And then anything, anything could happen.

Jean-Paul Sartre 479 quotes

And I too wanted to be. That ...

And I too wanted to be. That is all I wanted; and this is the last word. At the bottom of all these attempts which seemed without bounds, I find the same desire again: to drive existence out of me, to rid the passing moments of their fat, to twist them, dry them, purify myself, harden myself, to give back at last the sharp, precise sound of a saxophone note. That could even make an apologue: there was a poor man who got in the wrong world.

Jean-Paul Sartre 479 quotes

To choose this or that is to ...

To choose this or that is to affirm at the same time the value of what we choose, because we can never choose evil. We always choose the good, and nothing can be good for us without being good for all.

Jean-Paul Sartre 479 quotes

There were days when you peer...

There were days when you peered into yourself, into the secret places of your heart, and what you saw there made you faint with horror. And then, next day, you didn't know what to make of it,you couldn't interpret the horror you had glimpsed the day before. Yes, you know what evil costs.
