Jean-Paul Sartre

“Freedom is what you do with what's been done to you.”

“Man is condemned to be free.”

“Hell is other people.”

“Life begins on the other side of despair.”

“Existence precedes essence.”

“We are our choices.”

“Everything has been figured out, except how to live.”

“If you're lonely when you're alone, you're in bad company.”

“Man is nothing else but what he makes of himself.”

“Every existing thing is born without reason, prolongs itself out of weakness, and dies by chance.”

“It is only in our decisions that we are important.”

“Words are loaded pistols.”

“Life has no meaning a priori... It is up to you to give it a meaning.”

“Commitment is an act, not a word.”

“Like all dreamers, I mistook disenchantment for truth.”

“In love, one and one are one.”

“There is only one day left, always starting over: it is given to us at dawn and taken away from us at dusk.”

“Man is a useless passion.”
