Additional quotes by Jean-Paul Sartre

The flesh is the pure contingency of presence.

One always dies too soon — or too late. And yet one’s whole life is complete at that moment, with a line drawn neatly under it, ready for the summing up. You are — your life, and nothing else.

We have so much difficulty imagining nothingness.

To know what life is worth you have to risk it once in a while. - Jean-Paul Sartre
