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 479 quotes

Once we know and are aware, w...

Once we know and are aware, we are responsible for our action and our inaction. We can do something about it or ignore it. Either way, we are still responsible.

Jean-Paul Sartre 479 quotes

I never could bear the idea o...

I never could bear the idea of anyone's expecting something from me. It always made me want to do just the opposite.

Jean-Paul Sartre 479 quotes

We are possessed by the thing...

We are possessed by the things we possess. When I like an object, I always give it to someone. It isn't generosity-it's only because I want others to be enslaved by objects, not me.

Jean-Paul Sartre 479 quotes

In life man commits himself a...

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

A madman's ravings are absurd...

A madman's ravings are absurd in relation to the situation in which he finds himself, but not in relation to his madness.

Jean-Paul Sartre 479 quotes

We make our own hell out of the people around us.

Jean-Paul Sartre 479 quotes

Man is nothing else but what ...

Man is nothing else but what he makes of himself. [It is a matter of choice, not chance.] Such is the first principle of existentialism.

Jean-Paul Sartre 479 quotes

I had found my religion: nothing seemed more important to me than a book. I saw the library as a temple.

Jean-Paul Sartre 479 quotes

I am. I am, I exist, I think,...

I am. I am, I exist, I think, therefore I am; I am because I think, why do I think? I don't want to think any more, I am because I think that I don't want to be, I think that I . . . because . . . ugh!

Jean-Paul Sartre 479 quotes

Once freedom lights its beacon in man's heart, the gods are powerless against him.

Introspection is always retrospection

Jean-Paul Sartre 479 quotes

In wanting freedom we discove...

In wanting freedom we discover that it depends entirely on the freedom of others, and that the freedom of others depends on ours. . . I am obliged to want others to have freedom at the same time that I want my own freedom. I can take freedom as my goal only if I take that of others as a goal as well.

Jean-Paul Sartre 479 quotes

I am alone in the midst of th...

I am alone in the midst of these happy, reasonable voices. All these creatures spend their time explaining, realizing happily that they agree with each other. In Heaven's name, why is it so important to think the same things all together.

Jean-Paul Sartre 479 quotes

I can always choose, but I ou...

I can always choose, but I ought to know that if I do not choose, I am still choosing.

Jean-Paul Sartre 479 quotes

I respect orders but I respec...

I respect orders but I respect myself too and I do not obey foolish rules made especially to humiliate me.

Jean-Paul Sartre 479 quotes

In a word, man must create hi...

In a word, man must create his own essence: it is in throwing himself into the world, suffering there, struggling there, that he gradually defines himself.

Jean-Paul Sartre 479 quotes

He who asks a question is a f...

He who asks a question is a fool for a minute; he who does not remains a fool forever.
When you realize that by changing your perspective, big things can be seen as little things, it becomes much harder to worry about anything. Commitment is an act, not a word.

Jean-Paul Sartre 479 quotes

We only become what we are by...

We only become what we are by the radical and deep-seated refusal of that which others have made of us.

Jean-Paul Sartre 479 quotes

Imagination is not an empiric...

Imagination is not an empirical or superadded power of consciousness, it is the whole of consciousness as it realizes its freedom.
