Jean-Paul Sartre quotes about
philosophical book i-have-learned
All that I know about my life, it seems, I have learned in books.
love-you important answers
It answers the question that was tormenting you: my love, you are not 'one thing in my life' - not even the most important - because my life no longer belongs to me because...you are always me.
two people deep-thought
There are two types of poor people, those who are poor together and those who are poor alone. The first are the true poor, the others are rich people out of luck.
way existentialism wonder
Don't you feel the same way? When I cannot see myself, even though I touch myself, I wonder if I really exist.
summer june lovely
To read a poem in January is as lovely as to go for a walk in June
honesty integrity character
It is not the same thing if I sign Jean-Paul Sartre or if I sign Jean-Paul Sartre, Nobel Prize winner. A writer must refuse to allow himself to be transformed into an institution, even if it takes place in the most honorable form.
philosophical soul needs
I have no need for good souls: an accomplice is what I wanted.
witty time humorous
Three o'clock is always too late or too early for anything you want to do.
agony acting
Acting is happy agony.
would-be ifs
I have no religion, but if I were to choose one, it would be that of Shariati's.
powerful philosophical thinking
Words are more treacherous and powerful than we think.
no-exit
You are -- your life, and nothing else.
philosophical doe cry
That God does not exist, I cannot deny, That my whole being cries out for God I cannot forget.
mirrors people no-friends
People who live in society have learnt how to see themselves, in mirrors, as they appear to their friends. I have no friends: is that why my flesh is so naked?
