Thoughts of Jean Paul Sartre - Sharp, serious, exemplary, interesting, entertaining, sayings of French philosopher, playwright, novelist, screenwriter, political, critic, Writer
Jean Paul Sartre (Jean-Paul Charles Eymard Sartre) was born on 21 June 1905 in Paris, France, who was a world-renowned French philosopher, playwright, novelist, screenwriter, political activist, biographer and literary critic and who is considered a leading figure in 20th century French philosophy and Marxism. Sartre was one of the leading figures in the philosophy of existentialism (and phenomenology). His ideas influenced sociology, critical theory, post-colonial theory and literary studies. He was awarded the Nobel Prize in Literature in 1964 but he tried not to accept it. Sartre said that he has always rejected official honors and that a writer should not allow himself to be turned into an institution. He compared the Nobel Prize to a sack of potatoes for himself. Sartre had an open relationship with prominent feminist and fellow existentialist philosopher Simone de Beauvoir. Sartre and de Beauvoir challenged the cultural and social assumptions and expectations of their upbringing, which they regarded as bourgeois in both lifestyle and thought. They described that conventional way of life as an oppressive, spiritually destructive conformity (mauvais foi, literally, bad faith). Sartre's major philosophical work is recorded in Being and Nothingness (L'être et le néant, 1943). Here are some of Jean Paul Sartre's sharp, profound, exemplary, interesting, entertaining, thought-provoking quotes
Everywhere there are smooth and smiling faces, but in their eyes is ruin. So it is absurd to think of complaining because no foreign thing has decided what we feel, what we live or what we are.
Life begins on the other side of despair.
I want to go, to go somewhere where I really belong, where I can fit in... but my place is nowhere, I am unwanted. My thought is me so I can't stop. I exist because I think... and I can't stop myself from thinking. At this moment, it's terrifying, if I exist, it means I'm afraid to exist. I am the one who pulls myself from the nothingness to which I aspire.
Man is condemned to be free, because once thrown into the world, he is responsible for everything he does.
It is up to you to give meaning to life. It is better to die on your feet than to live on your knees.
You are you, your life, nothing else. There may be a more beautiful time, but this is ours.
When the rich make war the poor die.
Three o'clock is always too late or too early, whatever you want to do.
Freedom is what we do with the way we are treated.
I am alone among these happy, wise voices. All these beings spend their time explaining, happily realizing that they agree with each other. In the name of God, why is it so important to think the same thing together.
To begin to love someone is quite a difficult task. You have to have energy, generosity, blindness. There is even a moment in the beginning where you have to cross an abyss, which if you think about it you don't do.
Man cannot do anything unless he first understands that he must rely on no one but himself, that he is alone, abandoned on earth in the midst of his infinite responsibilities, without any help, with no other goal than the one he has set himself, no other destiny than the one he has made for himself on this earth.
She did not believe in anything. Only her doubts kept her from becoming an atheist.
Everything has been figured out, except how to live.
In love, one and one are one.
He was free, free in every way, free to behave like a fool or a machine, free to accept, free to refuse, free to get confused, to marry, to give up the game, to drag the burden of this death with him for years to come. He could do whatever he wanted, no one had the right to advise him, for him there was no good or evil unless he brought them into being.
I'm going to live more by myself. Eat, sleep, sleep, eat. Live slowly, softly, like these trees, like the puddle of water, like the red bench in the streetcar.
The more sand that is drained from the hourglass of our lives, the clearer we will see.
All that I know about my life, it seems, I learned in books.
Words are loaded pistols.
Life has no meaning in advance... It is up to you to give it meaning, and the value is nothing but the meaning you choose.
Like all dreamers I confuse disillusionment with truth.
I'm going to smile, and my smile will sink into your pupils, and God knows what it will become.
Hell is - other people!
Do you think I count the days? There's only one day left, always starting anew, it's given to us at dawn and taken away from us at dusk.
If you're lonely when you're alone, you're in bad company.
