For the moment, the jazz is playing; there is no melody, just notes, a myriad tiny tremors. The notes know no rest, an inflexibleorder gives birth to them then destroys them, without ever leaving them the chance to recuperate and exist for themselves.... I would like to hole them back, but I know that, if I succeeded in stooping one, there would only remain in may hand a corrupt and languishing sound. I must accept their death; I must even want that death: I know of few more bitter or intense impressions.

Jean-Paul Sartre 479 quotes

As if there could be true stor...

As if there could be true stories: things happen in one way, and we retell them in the opposite way.

Jean-Paul Sartre 479 quotes

Listen to me: a family man is ...

Listen to me: a family man is never a real family man. An assassin is never entirely assassin. They play a role, you understand. While a dead man, he is really dead. To be or not to be, right?

Jean-Paul Sartre 479 quotes

Absurd, irreducible; nothing--...

Absurd, irreducible; nothing--not even a profound and secret delirium of nature--could explain [a tree root].

Jean-Paul Sartre 479 quotes

What do you want to do with th...

What do you want to do with the [Communist] Party? A racing stable? What good is it to sharpen a knife every day if you never useit for slicing? A party is never more than a means. There is only one objective: power.

Jean-Paul Sartre 479 quotes

How can I, who was not able to...

How can I, who was not able to retain my own past, hope to save that of another?

Jean-Paul Sartre 479 quotes

The real nature of the present...

The real nature of the present revealed itself: it was what exists, all that was not present did not exist.

Jean-Paul Sartre 479 quotes

But [your crime] will be there...

But [your crime] will be there, one hundred times denied, always there, dragging itself behind you. Then you will finally know that you have committed your life with one throw of the die, once and for all, and there is nothing you can do but tug our crime along until your death. Such is the law, just and unjust, of repentance. Then we will see what will become of your young pride.

Jean-Paul Sartre 479 quotes

It is no longer possible to es...

It is no longer possible to escape men. Farewell to the monsters, farewell to the saints. Farewell to pride. All that is left is men.

Jean-Paul Sartre 479 quotes

I do not understand! I underst...

I do not understand! I understand nothing! I cannot understand nor do I want to understand! I want to believe! To Believe!

Jean-Paul Sartre 479 quotes

To whomever gives a kiss or a ...

To whomever gives a kiss or a blow
Render a kiss or blow
But to whomever gives when you are unable to return
Offer all the hatred in your heart
For you were slaves and he enslaves you

Jean-Paul Sartre 479 quotes

I committed the first crime by...

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

On my way to the office in the...

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 479 quotes

In life man commits himself an...

In life man commits himself and draws his own portrait, outside of which there is nothing. No doubt this thought may seem harsh to someone who has not made a success of his life. But on the other hand, it helps people to understand that reality alone counts, and that dreams, expectations and hopes only serve to define a man as a broken dream, aborted hopes, and futile expectations.

Jean-Paul Sartre 479 quotes

[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.

In football everything is complicated by the presence of the opposite team.

Jean-Paul Sartre 479 quotes

Through the lack of attaching ...

Through the lack of attaching myself to words, my thoughts remain nebulous most of the time. They sketch vague, pleasant shapes and then are swallowed up; I forget them almost immediately.

Jean-Paul Sartre 479 quotes

...I had spent my time counterfeiting eternity...

Nothingness lies coiled in the heart of being - like a worm.

Jean-Paul Sartre 479 quotes

But for me there is neither Mo...

But for me there is neither Monday nor Sunday: there are days which pass in disorder, and then, sudden lightning like this one. Nothing has changed and yet everything is different. I can't describe it, it's like the Nausea and yet it's just the opposite: at last an adventure happens to me and when I question myself I see that it happens that I am myself and that I am here; I am the one who splits in the night, I am as happy as the hero of a novel.
