Jean-Paul Sartre
Existentialism
Sayings by Jean-Paul Sartre
The world is full of things that are useless.
I am unable to refuse to accept the responsibility of my own freedom.
Man is a future.
The only way to overcome the absurd is to live it.
To be is to choose.
We are our own nothingness.
The moment you realize that you are not a victim, you become free.
There are no innocent victims.
Man is responsible for his own choices, even if he chooses not to choose.
The past is never dead. It's not even past.
To be free is not to be able to do what one wants, but to want what one can do.
The true nature of man is to be free.
The world is a game, and we are the players.
What is life but a series of choices?
Man is a being for whom existence is a question.
The only thing that can save man is to take responsibility for his own existence.
We are what we pretend to be, so we must be careful about what we pretend to be.
The world is not a friendly place.
Man is a perpetually frustrated god.
We are condemned to be free, but we are also condemned to be responsible.
