Jean-Paul Sartre

"The more you have, the less you appreciate"

"Perseverance is not the absence of doubt, but the continuation despite it"

"To create is to rebel against one's own nature"

"Technology is the campfire around which we tell our stories"

"A man who believes in nothing will fall for anything"

"Leadership is not about being in charge; it's about taking care of those in your charge"

"Man is condemned to be free; because once thrown into the world, he is responsible for everything he does."

"We are our choices."

"Existence precedes essence."

"The only way to deal with an unfree world is to become so absolutely free that very existence itself is an act of rebellion."

"In life you don't have choices, you have responsibilities."

"Man can will nothing unless he has first understood that he must count on no one but himself."

"Every man is the architect of his own fortune."

"Freedom is what you do with what's been done to you."

"I am my choices."

"One cannot be and have been simultaneously."

"Anguish is the feeling of freedom itself."

"We do not act in order to live; on the contrary we live in order to act."

"Bad faith is the lie that we tell ourselves."

"Man suffers only because he takes seriously what the gods made for fun."

"The essential thing is contingency."

"Consciousness is a being such that in its being, its being is in question insofar as this being implies a being other than itself."

"Writing is both discovery and creation."

"We are what we pretend to be, so we must be careful about what we pretend to be."

"The past can be eaten, the future can be eaten, but the present is the only thing we never eat."

"Perfect freedom is impossible; we exist in a world of constraints."

"One is not born but becomes a woman."

"Hate is a profound respect for another's freedom."

"Love is a deception; we love what we imagine."

"The individual is meaningful only to the degree that he transcends himself."
