Like all dreamers I confuse disenchantment with truth.

Jean-Paul Sartre

What is important is not what happens to us, but how we respond to what happens to us.
JEAN-PAUL SARTRE

Important Philosophy Reaction
If I became a philosopher, if I have so keenly sought this fame for which I’m still waiting, it’s all been to seduce women basically.
JEAN-PAUL SARTRE

Myself Philosophy Woman
I’ve dropped out of their hearts like a little sparrow fallen from its nest. So gather me up, dear, fold me to your heart – and you’ll see how nice I can be.
JEAN-PAUL SARTRE

Heart Myself
I can receive nothing more from these tragic solitudes than a little empty purity.
JEAN-PAUL SARTRE

Empty Myself Tragedy
One always dies too soon – or too late. And yet one’s whole life is complete at that moment, with a line drawn neatly under it, ready for the summing up. You are — your life, and nothing else.
JEAN-PAUL SARTRE

Death Life Moments Oneself Philosophy Yourself
I am going to outlive myself. Eat, sleep, sleep, eat. Exist slowly, softly, like these trees, like a puddle of water, like the red bench in the streetcar.
JEAN-PAUL SARTRE

JEAN-PAUL SARTRE

Choice Oneself Philosophy
As far as men go, it is not what they are that interests me, but what they can become.
JEAN-PAUL SARTRE

Man Philosophy Transformation
He is always becoming, and if it were not for the contingency of death, he would never end.
JEAN-PAUL SARTRE

Death End Himself
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?
JEAN-PAUL SARTRE

Appearance Friendship Learning Live Naked People See
I wanted my own words. But the ones I use have been dragged through I don’t know how many consciences.
JEAN-PAUL SARTRE

Myself Oneself Word
Freedom is what we do with what is done to us.
