QUOTES BY Jean-Paul Sartre


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

I'm going to smile, and my smile will sink down into your pupils, and heaven knows what it will become.

Hell is—other people!

Man is condemned to be free; because once thrown into the world, he is responsible for everything he does. It is up to you to give [life] a meaning.

We are our choices.
