Quote by Merleau-Ponty, Maurice

"The world is not what I think, but what I live through."

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

"The past is real, but only by virtue of the present."

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

"The pen is mightier than the sword."

"Literature opens the mind to new worlds"

"The interesting thing about books is that they're made of words."

"Literature captures the essence of what it means to be human."
