Additional quotes by Jean-Paul Sartre

Existence precedes essence

it was odd, he thought, that a man could hate himself as though he were someone else.

...and if you are common, you can dress up as a woman, show you behind or write poems: there's nothing offensive about a naked behind if it's everybody's; each person will be mirrored in it.

I want no secrets or soul-states, nothing ineffable; I am neither virgin nor priest enough to play with the inner life. - Jean-Paul Sartre
