Jean-Paul Sartre
“He is always becoming, and if it were not for the contingency of death, he would never end.”
Jean-Paul Sartre, Nausea

Walker Percy
“Ooooh," Kate groans, Kate herself now. "I'm so afraid."
"I know."
"What am I going to do?"
"You mean right now?"
"Yes."
"We'll go to my car. Then we'll drive down to the French Market and get some coffee. Then we'll go home."
"Is everything going to be all right?"
"Yes."
"Tell me. Say it."
"Everything is going to be all right.”
Walker Percy, The Moviegoer

Blaise Pascal
“The eternal silence of these infinite spaces terrifies me”
Blaise Pascal, Pensées

Jean-Paul Sartre
“I want to leave, to go somewhere where I should be really in my place, where I would fit in . . . but my place is nowhere; I am unwanted.”
Jean-Paul Sartre, Nausea

Michael Haneke
“[on what interests him as a moviegoer] I'm interested in seeing films that confront me with new things, with films that make me question myself, with films that help me to reflect on subjects that I hadn't thought about before, films that help me progress and advance. Those are the kinds of films that interest me. For me, personally, I think watching a movie that simply confirms my feelings is a waste of time. That applies not only to movies, but also to books and every form of art.”
Michael Haneke
