" "Dostoiévski escreveu: «Se Deus não existisse, tudo seria permitido.» Aí se situa o ponto de partida do existencialismo. Com efeito, tudo é permitido se Deus não existe, fica o homem, por conseguinte, abandonado, já que não encontra em si, nem fora de si uma possibilidade a que se apegue. Antes de mais nada, não há desculpas para ele. Se, com efeito, a existência precede a essência, não será nunca possível referir uma explicação a uma natureza humana dada e imutável; por outras palavras, não há determinismo, o homem é livre, o homem é liberdade. Se, por outro lado, Deus não existe, não encotnramos diante de nós valores ou imposições que nos legitimam o comportamento. Assim, não temos nem atrás de nós, nem diante de nós, no domínio luminoso dos valores, justificações ou desculpas. Estamos sós e sem desculpas.

Additional quotes by Jean-Paul Sartre
"Someone will say, "I did not ask to be born." This is a naive way of throwing greater emphasis on our facticity. I am responsible for everything, in fact,
except for my very responsibility, for I am not the foundation of my being. Therefore everything takes place as if I were compelled to be responsible. I am abandoned in the world, not in the sense that I might remain abandoned and passive in a hostile universe like a board floating on the water, but rather in the sense that I find myself suddenly alone and without help, engaged in a world for which I bear the whole responsibility without being able, whatever I do, to tear myself away from this responsibility for an instant. For I am responsible for my very desire of fleeing responsibilities. To make myself passive in the world, to refuse to act upon things and upon Others is still to choose myself, and suicide is one mode among others of being-in-the-world. Yet I find an absolute responsibility for the fact that my facticity (here the fact of my birth) is directly inapprehensible and even inconceivable, for this fact of my birth never appears as a brute fact but always across a projective reconstruction of my for-itself. I am ashamed of being born or I am astonished at it or I rejoice over it, or in attempting to get rid of my life I affirm that I live and I assume this life as bad. Thus in a certain sense I choose being born."

What is meant by the term existentialism? Most people who use the word would be rather embarrassed if they had to explain it, since, now that the word is all the rage, even the work of a musician or painter is being called existentialist. A gossip columnist in Clartés signs himself The Existentialist, so that by this time the word has been so stretched and has taken on so broad a meaning, that it no longer means anything at all.
