Additional quotes by Jean-Paul Sartre

En la pared hay un agujero blanco, el espejo. Es una trampa. Sé que voy a dejarme atrapar. Ya está. La cosa gris acaba de aparecer en el espejo. Me acerco y la miro; ya no puedo irme. Es el reflejo de mi rostro. A menudo en estos días perdidos, me quedo contemplándolo. No comprendo nada en este rostro. Los de los otros tienen un sentido. El mío, no. Ni siquiera puedo decidir si es lindo o feo. Pienso que es feo, porque me lo han dicho. Pero no me sorprende. En el fondo, a mí mismo me choca que puedan atribuirle cualidades de ese tipo, como si llamaran lindo o feo a un montón de tierra o a un bloque de piedra.

I dreamed vaguely of killing myself to wipe out at least one of these superfluous lives. But even my death would have been In the way. In the way, my corpse, my blood on these stones, between these plants, at the back of this smiling garden. And the decomposed flesh would have been In the way in the earth which would receive my bones, at last, cleaned, stripped, peeled, proper and clean as teeth, it would have been In the way: I was In the way for eternity.
