Jean-Paul Sartre
“Nothing happens while you live. The scenery changes, people come in and go out, that's all. There are no beginnings. Days are tacked on to days without rhyme or reason, an interminable, monotonous addition.”
Jean-Paul Sartre, Nausea

Jean-Paul Sartre
“I can always choose, but I ought to know that if I do not choose, I am still choosing.”
Jean-Paul Sartre, Existentialism and Human Emotions

Jean-Paul Sartre
“There is no human nature, since there is no god to conceive it.”
Jean-Paul Sartre, Existentialism and Human Emotions

Anton Sammut
“...Although the term Existentialism was invented in the 20th century by the French philosopher Gabriel Marcel, the roots of this thought go back much further in time, so much so, that this subject was mentioned even in the Old Testament. If we take, for example, the Book of Ecclesiastes, especially chapter 5, verses 15-16, we will find a strong existential sentiment there which declares, 'This too is a grievous evil: As everyone comes, so they depart, and what do they gain, since they toil for the wind?' The aforementioned book was so controversial that in the distant past there were whole disputes over whether it should be included in the Bible. But if nothing else, this book proves that Existential Thought has always had its place in the centre of human life. However, if we consider recent Existentialism, we can see it was the French philosopher Jean-Paul Sartre who launched this movement, particularly with his book Being and Nothingness, in 1943. Nevertheless, Sartre's thought was not a new one in philosophy. In fact, it goes back three hundred years and was first uttered by the French philosopher Ren茅 Descartes in his 1637 Discours de la M茅thode, where he asserts, 'I think, therefore I am' . It was on this Cartesian model of the isolated ego-self that Sartre built his existential consciousness, because for him, Man was brought into this world for no apparent reason and so it cannot be expected that he understand such a piece of absurdity rationally.''

'' Sir, what can you tell us about what Sartre thought regarding the unconscious mind in this respect, please?'' a charming female student sitting in the front row asked, listening keenly to every word he had to say.

''Yes, good question. Going back to Sartre's Being and Nothingness it can be seen that this philosopher shares many ideological concepts with the Neo-Freudian psychoanalysts but at the same time, Sartre was diametrically opposed to one of the fundamental foundations of psychology, which is the human unconscious. This is precisely because if Sartre were to accept the unconscious, the same subject would end up dissolving his entire thesis which revolved around what he understood as being the liberty of Man. This stems from the fact that according to Sartre, if a person accepts the unconscious mind he is also admitting that he can never be free in his choices since these choices are already pre-established inside of him. Therefore, what can clearly be seen in this argument is the fact that apparently, Sartre had no idea about how physics, especially Quantum Mechanics works, even though it was widely known in his time as seen in such works as Heisenberg's The Uncertainty Principle, where science confirmed that first of all, everything is interconnected - the direct opposite of Sartrean existential isolation - and second, that at the subatomic level, everything is undetermined and so there is nothing that is pre-established; all scientific facts that in themselves disprove the Existential Ontology of Sartre and Existentialism itself...”
Anton Sammut, Paceville and Metanoia

“It isn't freedom from. It's freedom to.”

“Whenever the wife wants to do drugs, she thinks about Sartre. One bad trip and then a giant lobster followed him around for the rest of his days.”

“Faire souffrir c'est poss茅der et cr茅er tout autant que d茅truire.”
Jean-Paul Sartre, Baudelaire

“- Tu es et tu resteras toujours une petite-bourgeoise moraliste. Comme Camus.
- Tu es et tu resteras toujours un petit con pr茅tencieux. Comme Sartre.”
Jean-Michel Guenassia, Le Club des incorrigibles optimistes

Jean-Paul Sartre
“When you live alone, you even forget what it is to tell a story: plausibility disappears at the same time as friends. You let events flow by too: you suddenly see people appear who speak and then go away; you plunge into stories of which you can't make head or tail: you'd make a terrible witness. But on the other hand, everything improbable, everything which nobody would ever believe in a cafe, comes your way.”
Jean-Paul Sartre, Nausea

Jean-Paul Sartre
“So I was a poodle of the future; I made prophecies.”

“You have to talk to make sure you're alive.”

Jean-Paul Sartre
“My whole life is behind me. I see it completely, I see its shape and the slow movements which have brought me this far. There is little to say about it: a lost game, that鈥檚 all.

I had lost the first round. I wanted to play the second and I lost again: I lost the whole game. At the same time, I learned that you always lose. Only the rascals think they win.

Now I am going to be like Anny, I am going to outlive myself. Eat, sleep, sleep, eat. Exist slowly, softly, like these trees, like a puddle of water, like the red bench in the streetcar.”
Jean-Paul Sartre, Nausea

Jean-Paul Sartre
“Things are entirely what they appear to be and BEHIND THEM... there is nothing.”

“The words I speak are too big for my mouth, they tear it; the load of destiny I bear is too heavy for my youth and has shattered it.”
Jean-Paul Sartre, No Exit and Three Other Plays

Jean-Paul Sartre
“here we are, all of us, eating and drinking to preserve our precious existence, and that there's nothing, nothing, absolutely no reason for existing.”
Jean-Paul Sartre, Nausea

Jean-Paul Sartre
“people talk a lot about this famous passing of time, but you scarcely see it. You see a woman, you think that one day she will be old, only you don't SEE her grow old. But there are moments when you think you SEE her growing old and you feel yourself growing old with her: that is the feeling of adventure.”
Jean-Paul Sartre

Jean-Paul Sartre
“FIRST FURY: You see! You see! . . . That's quite true, little doll; you're less afraid of us than of
that man. Because you need us, Electra. You are our child, our little girl. You need our nails to score your skin, our teeth to bite your breast, and all our savage love to save you from your hatred of yourself. Only the suffering of your body can take your mind off your suffering soul. So come and let us hurt you. You have only those two steps to come down, and we will take you in our arms. And when our kisses sear your tender flesh, you'll forget all in the cleansing fires of pain.”
Jean-Paul Sartre, No Exit and Three Other Plays

Jean-Paul Sartre
“HUGO [smiling]: Go to hell.
OLGA: You shouldn't have said that.
HUGO: Why not?
OLGA: One doesn't say things like that.
HUGO [astonished]: Olga, are you superstitious?
OLGA [upset]: Certainly not. [HUGO watches her attentively.]
HUGO: What is he going to do?
OLGA: It's no business of yours.
HUGO: He's going to bomb the Korsk bridge?
OLGA: Why do you want me to tell you? If something goes wrong, the less you know, the better off you are.”

Dorothy Tennov
“While limerence has been called love, it is not love. Although the limerent feels a kind of love for LO at the time, from LO鈥檚 point of view limerence and love are quite different from each other.
It is limerence, not love, that increases when lovers are able to meet only infrequently or when there is anger between them. No wonder those who view limerence from an external vantage are baffled by what seems more a form of insanity than a form of love. Jean-Paul Sartre calls it a project with a 鈥渃ontradictory ideal.鈥� He notes that each of the lovers seek the love of the other without realizing that what they want is to be loved. His conclusion is that the amorous relation is 鈥渁 system of infinite reflections, a deceiving mirror game which carries within itself its own frustration,鈥� a kind of 鈥渄upery.鈥�
It should also be clear now that limerent uncertainly as well as projection can be viewed as the consequence of your limerent inclination to hide your own feelings: If you hide your true reactions, then LO, if indeed limerent, can be expected to do the same. When LO appears not to be eager, or even interested, it is not unreasonable to interpret that behavior as evidence itself of limerence; and a kind of 鈥減aranoia鈥� becomes an entirely logical consequence of a situation that may indeed be what Simone de Beauvoir has called it: 鈥渋mpossible.鈥�
Because one of the invariant characteristics of limerence is extreme emotional dependency on LO鈥檚 behavior, the actual course of the limerence must depend on the actions and reactions of both lovers. Uncertainty increases limerence; increased limerence dictates altered action which serves to increase or decrease limerence in the other according to the interpretation given. The interplay is delicate if the relationship hovers near mutuality; a subtle imbalance, constantly shifting, appears to maintain it. Each knows who 鈥渓oves more.鈥�
If limerence were measurable by an instrument that enabled its intensity to be read by the points on a dial, one could imagine that, if lovers sat together reading each other鈥檚 degree of reciprocation, the dials would rarely if ever set themselves at the same point on the scales. For instance, if you found yourself more limerent than your partner, then your limerence might decline through reduced hope, or if your partner鈥檚 were higher, it might decline through reduced uncertainty. Perhaps such true awareness would provide a means of controlling the reaction.”
Dorothy Tennov, Love and Limerence: The Experience of Being in Love

Rick Roderick
“In fact this was outrageous to many of his early admirers, that he would become a revolutionary Marxist, because in the United States that always had been associated with Soviet style bureaucratic Marxism and of course then you began to think about the Cold War and all the little films you saw in grade school of Russian kids with their hands hanging on barbed wire, and all that stuff... which actually wasn鈥檛 a mode of thought, but was just our mode of propaganda. That doesn鈥檛 mean it wasn鈥檛 better than their propaganda; events have proven it was鈥� better.”
Rick Roderick

S. Nassir Ghaemi
“Life decisions鈥攎aking too many and/or making them too easily is as dangerous as not making them at all. How clearly mania and depression outline the extremes of the dilemma of us all before the terrible fact of choice: indecisiveness in depression鈥攏othing can be done; overdecisiveness in mania鈥攅verything is to be done and nothing gets done. We are doomed to choose, Sartre said, yet we don鈥檛 know when to choose and when not to choose.”
S. Nassir Ghaemi, The Concepts of Psychiatry: A Pluralistic Approach to the Mind and Mental Illness

“Sartre's perspective of freedom is neither redemptive nor creative, but
of a cold mechanical and mathematical causality - you are "doomed" to be free. Basically, he didn't mean that we are free, but that we need to believe that we are.”
Jeff Ampolini

“O humanismo sartreano n茫o tem nada a ver com nenhum dogmatismo. Cabe a cada um apropriar-se dele e construi-lo atrav茅s de uma exist锚ncia zelosa de sua singularidade na afirma莽茫o constante da liberdade, para si mesmo e para os outros.”
Frederic Allouche, Ser livre com Sartre

Adrian Barnes
“鈥artre, expanding on Descartes, wrote that the reason we know others exist is because when they look at us, we feel looked at. He called the entity that was staring back at us the Other. From that meeting of the eyes, everything else in our fragile human universes blossomed forth. But! Think of how easily human status is taken away鈥攂y war, by hospitals, by arguments about whose turn it is to take out the recycling. How easily we can turn people into things. And now Tanya had turned me into a thing.”
Adrian Barnes, Nod

“Existentialism is the interpreted content of the Flaubertian text and of his life: the sum of 鈥淔laubert鈥� or Flaubert signified.”
AMCX, Sartre, Flaubert, Lynch: Return to Yonville

“Sartre is no ordinary reader, so if for most of Flaubert's readers there is no immediate takeoff, with Sartre it was instantaneous: Sartre/Flaubert=Lynch.”
