Jean-Paul Sartre quote: "Life is a useless passion."
Life is a useless passion. Jean-Paul Sartre
The absurd man will not commit suicide; he wants to live, without relinquishing any of his certainty, without a future, without hope, without illusions … and without resignation either. He stares at death with passionate attention and this fascination liberates him. He experiences the “divine irresponsibility” of the condemned man. Jean-Paul Sartre
[M]an is condemned to be free. Condemned, because he did not create himself, in other respect is free; because, once thrown into the world, he is responsible for everything he does. The Existentialist does not believe in the power of passion. He will never agree that a sweeping passion is a ravaging torrent which fatally leads a man to certain acts and is therefore an excuse. He thinks that man is responsible for his passion. Jean-Paul Sartre
Jean-Paul Sartre quote: "We must act out passion before we can feel it."
We must act out passion before we can feel it. Jean-Paul Sartre
