Jean-Paul Sartre Quotes About Today

Quotes about: Today

• 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.

  Jean-Paul Sartre

  World, Laziness, Want

  Jean-Paul Sartre (2013). “Nausea”, p.75, New Directions Publishing

• God is the solitude of men. There was only me: I alone decided to commit Evil; alone, I invented Good. I am the one who cheated, I am the one who performed miracles, I am the one accusing myself today, I alone can absolve myself; me, the man.

  Jean-Paul Sartre

  Men, Evil, Miracle

  "The Devil and the Good Lord". Book by Jean-Paul Sartre, Act 10, sc. 4, 1951.

• Many young people today do not concern themselves with style. They think that what one says should be said simply and that is all. For me, style - which does not exclude simplicity, quite the opposite - is above all a way of saying three or four things in one. There is the simple sentence, with its immediate meaning, and then at the same time, below this immediate meaning, other meanings are organized. If one is not capable of giving language this plurality of meaning, then it is not worth the trouble to write.

  Jean-Paul Sartre

  Writing, Simple, Thinking
