Nothing happens while you live. The scenery changes, people come in and go out, that's all. There are no beginnings. Days are tacked on to days without rhyme or reason, an interminable, monotonous addition.
Quote by -Jean-Paul Sartre
There is only one day left, always starting over: It is given to us at dawn and taken away from us at dusk.
Quote by -Jean-Paul Sartre
Through the lack of attaching myself to words, my thoughts remain nebulous most of the time. They sketch vague, pleasant shapes and then are swallowed up; I forget them almost immediately.
Quote by -Jean-Paul Sartre
We do not know what we want and yet we are responsible for what we are - that is the fact.

Quote by -Jean-Paul Sartre
I am. I am, I exist, I think, therefore I am; I am because I think, why do I think? I don't want to think any more, I am because I think that I don't want to be, I think that I . . . because . . . ugh!

Quote by -Jean-Paul Sartre
I suppose it is out of laziness that the world is the same day after day. Today it seemed to want to change. And then anything, anything could happen.
Quote by -Jean-Paul Sartre
I am going to outlive myself. Eat, sleep, sleep, eat. Exist slowly, softly, like these trees, like a puddle of water, like the red bench in the streetcar.
Quote by -Jean-Paul Sartre
It is therefore senseless to think of complaining since nothing foreign has decided what we feel, what we live, or what we are.

The more sand that has escaped from the hourglass of our life, the clearer we should see through it.
Quote by -Jean-Paul Sartre
Life has no meaning a priori… It is up to you to give it a meaning, and value is nothing but the meaning that you choose.

I want to leave, to go somewhere where I should be really in my place, where I would fit in . . . but my place is nowhere; I am unwanted.

Three o'clock is always too late or too early for anything you want to do.
