Existentialism
Sayings by Jean-Paul Sartre
Man is a being who invents himself.
We are condemned to be free.
The essential thing is to not choose.
There is no reality except in action.
Man is anguish.
Every man must invent his own way.
The meaning of life is not something that is given to us, but something that we create for ourselves.
Freedom is the being of man.
We are alone with no excuses.
The most beautiful thing in the world is to be free.
Man is a useless passion because he seeks to be God.
We are our choices, and we are responsible for our choices.
The real world is not a dream, but it can be a nightmare.
To be free is to be alone.
Man is nothing but a series of possibilities.
The only way to escape the absurdity of existence is to create meaning.
We are condemned to invent ourselves constantly.
The fundamental project of human reality is to be God.
We are always responsible for what we are.
Man is defined by his actions and by his refusal to act.
