Some men are born committed to action: they do not have a choice, they have been thrown on a path, at the end of that path, an act awaits them, their act.
Jean-Paul SartreTotal war is no longer war waged by all members of one national community against all those of another. It is total... because it may well involve the whole world.
Jean-Paul SartreThis is what I thought: for the most banal even to become an adventure, you must (and this is enough) begin to recount it. This is what fools people: a man is always a teller of tales, he sees everything that happens to him through them; and he tries to live his own life as if he were telling a story. But you have to choose: live or tell.
