So... Last week I was having philosophy class and my teacher started talking about a contamporary french philosopher, Jean-Paul Sartre.
He's Atheist, which I'm okay with and he has the awesomest quotes.
He's the hot stud.
He was awarded the 1964 Nobel Prize in Literature but refused it, saying that he always declined official honours and that, "a writer should not allow himself to be turned into an institution. The main idea of Jean-Paul Sartre is that we are, as humans, "condemned to be free." Sartre maintained that the concepts of authenticity and individuality have to be earned but not learned. We need to experience death consciousness so as to wake up ourselves as to what is really important; the authentic in our lives which is life experience, not knowledge.


So here are some quotes that I liked very much!

"Hell is other people."
"I am no longer sure of anything. If I satiate my desires, I sin but I deliver myself from them; if I refuse to satisfy them, they infect the whole soul."
"If literature isn't everything, it's not worth a single hour of someone's trouble."
"If you are lonely when you're alone, you're in a bad company"
"It is only in our decisions we are important."
"Man is condemned to be free; because once thrown into the world, he is responsible for everything he does."
"There are two types of poor people, those who are poor together and those who are poor alone. The first are the true poor, the others are rich people out of luck." (ahahahahaah xD)
"We do not judge the people we love."
"We must act out passion before we can feel it."
"When rich people fight wars with one another, poor people are the ones to die." (in wars, people never participate, they just suffer from it).
"Words are loaded pistols."
"You must be afraid, my son. That is how one becomes an honest citizen."
