Jean-Paul Sartre
“I am. I am, I exist, I think, therefore I am; I am because I think, why do I think? I don't want to think any more, I am because I think that I don't want to be, I think that I . . . because . . . ugh!”
Jean-Paul Sartre, Nausea

Jean-Paul Sartre
“I dreamed vaguely of killing myself to wipe out at least one of these superfluous lives. But even my death would have been In the way. In the way, my corpse, my blood on these stones, between these plants, at the back of this smiling garden. And the decomposed flesh would have been In the way in the earth which would receive my bones, at last, cleaned, stripped, peeled, proper and clean as teeth, it would have been In the way: I was In the way for eternity.”
Jean-Paul Sartre, Nausea

Arthur Schopenhauer
“There are 80,000 prostitutes in London alone and what are they, if not bloody sacrifices on the alter of monogamy”
Arthur Schopenhauer, Essays and Aphorisms

Jean-Paul Sartre
“I felt myself in a solitude so frightful that I contemplated suicide. What held me back was the idea that no one, absolutely no one, would be moved by my death, that I would be even more alone in death than in life.”
Jean Paul Sartre, Nausea

Jean-Paul Sartre
“You know, it's quite a job starting to love somebody. You have to have energy, generosity, blindness. There is even a moment, in the very beginning, when you have to jump across a precipice: if you think about it you don't do it.”
Jean-Paul Sartre, Nausea
