Jean-Paul Sartre
“Life is a useless passion.”
Jean-Paul Sartre, Being and Nothingness

Jean-Paul Sartre
“INEZ: Prove it. Prove it was no dream. It’s what one does, and nothing else, that shows the stuff one's made of.

GARCIN: I died too soon. I wasn't allowed time to - to do my deeds.

INEZ: One always dies too soon - or too late. And yet one's whole life is complete at that moment, with a line drawn neatly under it, ready for the summing up. You are - your life, and nothing else.”
Jean-Paul Sartre, No Exit

Jean-Paul Sartre
“INEZ: To forget about the others? How utterly absurd! I feel you there, in every pore.Your silence clamours in my ears. You can nail up your mouth, cut your tongue out - but you can't prevent your being there. Can you stop your thoughts? I hear them ticking away like a clock, tick-tock, tick-tock, and I'm certain you hear mine. It's all very well skulking on your sofa, but you're everywhere, and every sound comes to me soiled because you've intercepted it on its way. Why, you've even stolen my face; you know it and I don't ! And what about her, about Estelle? You've stolen her from me, too; if she and I were alone do you suppose she'd treat me as she does? No, take your hands from your face, I won't leave you in peace - that would suit your book too well. You'd go on sitting there, in a sort of trance, like a yogi, and even if I didn't see her I'd feel it in my bones - that she was making every sound, even the rustle of her dress, for your benefit, throwing you smiles you didn't see... Well, I won't stand for that, I prefer to choose my hell; I prefer to look you in the eyes and fight it out face to face.”
Jean-Paul Sartre, No Exit

Jean-Paul Sartre
“I'm going to smile, and my smile will sink down into your pupils, and heaven knows what it will become.”
Jean-Paul Sartre, No Exit

Fernando Pessoa
“que quer o anarquista? A liberdade —a liberdade para si e para os outros, para a humanidade inteira. Quer estar livre da influência ou da pressão das ficções sociais; quer ser livre tal qual nasceu e apareceu no mundo, que é como em justiça deve ser; e quer essa liberdade para si e para todos os mais. Nem todos podem ser iguais perante a Natureza: uns nascem altos, outros baixos; uns fortes, outros fracos; uns mais inteligentes, outros menos... Mas
todos podem ser iguais daí em diante; só as ficções sociais o evitam. Essas ficções sociais é que era preciso destruir.
Era preciso destrui-las... Mas não me escapou uma coisa: era preciso destrui-las mas em proveito da liberdade, e tendo sempre em vista a criação da sociedade livre. Porque isso de destruir as ficções sociais tanto pode ser para criar liberdade, ou preparar o caminho da liberdade, como para estabelecer outras ficções sociais diferentes, igualmente más porque igualmente ficções. Aqui é que era preciso cuidado. Era preciso acertar com um processo de acção, qualquer que fosse a sua violência ou a sua não-violência (porque contra as injustiças sociais tudo era legítimo), pelo qual se contribuísse para destruir as ficções sociais sem, ao mesmo tempo, estorvar a criação da liberdade futura; criando já mesmo, caso fosse possível, alguma coisa da liberdade futura.”
Fernando Pessoa, El banquero anarquista
