Additional quotes by Jean-Paul Sartre

What then did you expect when you unbound the gag that muted those black mouths? That they would chant your praises? Did you think that when those heads that our fathers had forcibly bowed down to the ground were raised again, you would find adoration in their eyes?

I wanted my own words. But the ones I use have been dragged through I don't know how many consciences.
