More quotes by Jean-Paul Sartre
"Man is nothing else but what he purposes, he exists only in so far as he realizes himself, he is therefore nothing else but the sum of his actions, nothing else but what his life is."
"Every word has consequences. Every silence, too."
"We are our choices."
"He who asks a question is a fool for a minute; he who does not remains a fool forever. When you realize that by changing your perspective, big things can be seen as little things, it becomes much harder to worry about anything. Commitment is an act, not a word."
"Man is condemned to be free; because once thrown into the world, he is responsible for everything he does."
