Jean-Paul Sartre

All men are Prophets or else God does not exist.

Jean-Paul Sartre

All of us abandon ourselves to existence, because we were among ourselves, only among ourselves, it has taken us unawares, in the disorder, the day to day drift: I am ashamed for myself and for what exists in front of it.

Jean-Paul Sartre

All-powerful god, who am I but the fear that I inspire in others?

Jean-Paul Sartre

Amuse yourself, torment your desires. Drink when you’re thirsty – that would be very much too simple! If you didn’t harbour a temptation eternally in your soul, you’d run the risk of forgetting yourself.

Jean-Paul Sartre

An existant can never justify the existence of another existant.

Jean-Paul Sartre

As for me, I am mean: that means that I need the suffering of others to exist. A flame. A flame in their hearts. When I am all alone, I am extinguished.

Jean-Paul Sartre

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

Jean-Paul Sartre

Atheism is a cruel long term business, and I have gone through it to the end.

Jean-Paul Sartre

Be self-indulgent, and those who are also self-indulgent will like you. Tear your neighbor to pieces, and the other neighbors will laugh. But if you beat your soul, all souls will cry out.

Jean-Paul Sartre

Being is. Being is in-itself. Being is what it is.
