I am alone in the midst of these happy, reasonable voices. … - Jean-Paul Sartre

" "
I am alone in the midst of these happy, reasonable voices. All these creatures spend their time explaining, realizing happily that they agree with each other. In Heaven's name, why is it so important to think the same things all together.
