[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.

To know what life is worth you have to risk it once in a while.

Man is condemned to be free

We do not know what we want and yet we are responsible for what we are - that is the fact.
