Jean-Paul Sartre

"I tell you in truth: all men are Prophets or else God does not exist."

"All human actions are equivalent and all are on principle doomed to failure."

"As far as men go, it is not what they are that interests me, but what they can become."

"Commitment is an act, not a word."

"Everything has been figured out, except how to live."

"I hate victims who respect their executioners."

"If you are lonely when you're alone, you are in bad company."

"It disturbs me no more to find men base, unjust, or selfish than to see apes mischievous, wolves savage, or the vulture ravenous."

"Like all dreamers, I mistook disenchantment for truth."

"Man is fully responsible for his nature and his choices."

"One is still what one is going to cease to be and already what one is going to become. One lives one's death, one dies one's life."

"Politics is a science. You can demonstrate that you are right and that others are wrong."

"The best work is not what is most difficult for you; it is what you do best."

"There are two types of poor people, those who are poor together and those who are poor alone. The first are the true poor, the others are rich people out of luck."
