Hell is other people.
JEAN-PAUL SARTRE, No Exit
There is only one day left, always starting over: it is given to us at dawn and taken away from us at dusk.
JEAN-PAUL SARTRE, The Devil and the Good Lord
It's the well-behaved children ... that make the most formidable revolutionaries. They don't say a word, they don't hide under the table, they eat only one piece of chocolate at a time. But later on they make society pay dearly.
JEAN-PAUL SARTRE, Dirty Hands
Man is condemned to be free.
JEAN-PAUL SARTRE, Existentialism Is a Humanism
When the rich wage war, it is the poor who die.
JEAN-PAUL SARTRE, The Devil and the Good Lord
Men equally honest, equally devoted to their fatherland, are momentarily separated by different conceptions of their duty.
JEAN-PAUL SARTRE, Dirty Hands
People who live in society have learned how to see themselves in mirrors as they appear to their friends.
I tell you the truth: all men are Prophets or else God does not exist.
JEAN-PAUL SARTRE, The Devil and the Good Lord
A good hanging now and then -- that entertains folk in the provinces and robs death of its glamour.
JEAN-PAUL SARTRE, The Flies
Perception is naturally surpassed toward action; better yet, it can be revealed only in and through projects of action. The world is revealed as an "always future hollow", for we are always future to ourselves.
JEAN-PAUL SARTRE, Being and Nothingness
If a victory is told in detail, one can no longer distinguish it from a defeat.
JEAN-PAUL SARTRE, The Devil and the Good Lord
I say a murder is abstract. You pull the trigger and after that you do not understand anything that happens.
JEAN-PAUL SARTRE, Dirty Hands
Three o'clock is always too late or too early for anything you want to do.
The revolution you dream of is not ours. You don't want to change the world, you want to blow it up.
JEAN-PAUL SARTRE, Dirty Hands
Night is falling: at dusk, you must have good eyesight to be able to tell the Good Lord from the Devil.
