Additional quotes by Jean-Paul Sartre

In the distance.
Above my head; above my head; and this instant which I cannot leave, which locks me in and
limits me on every side, this instant I am made of will be no more than a confused dream.

I exist, that is all, and I find it nauseating.

Commitment is an act, not a word
