Jean-Paul Sartre

All human actions are equivalent and all are on principle doomed to failure.

Acting is a question of absorbing other people's personalities and adding some of your own experience.

Like all dreamers, I mistook disenchantment for truth.

One is still what one is going to cease to be and already what one is going to become. One lives one's death, one dies one's life.

The best work is not what is most difficult for you it is what you do best.

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.

If you are lonely when you're alone, you are in bad company.

Every age has its own poetry in every age the circumstances of history choose a nation, a race, a class to take up the torch by creating situations that can be expressed or transcended only through poetry.
