Quotations by Jean Paul Sartre


* A lost battle is a battle one thinks one has lost.

* Everything has been figured out, except how to live.

* Freedom is what you do with what's been done to you.

* Man is condemned to be free; because once thrown into the world, he is responsible for everything he does.

* Neither sex, without some fertilization of the complimentary characters of the other, is capable of the highest reaches of human endeavor.
