" "

They are young and well built, they have another thirty years ahead of them. So they don't hurry, they take their time, and they are quite right. Once they have been to bed together, they will have to find something else to conceal the enormous absurdity of their existence.

Additional quotes by Jean-Paul Sartre

"Everything happens to every man as if the entire human race were staring at him and measuring itself by what he does. So every man ought to be asking himself, "Am I really a man who is entitled to act in such a way that the entire human race should be measuring itself by my actions?" And if he does not ask himself that, he masks his anguish."

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.
