Love or hatred calls for self-surrender. He cuts a fine figure, the warm-blooded, prosperous man, solidly entrenched in his well-being, who one fine day surrenders all to loveโor to hatred; himself, his house, his land, his memories.
Jean-Paul SartreMy thought is me: that's why I can't stop. I exist because I thinkโฆ and I can't stop myself from thinking. At this very moment - it's frightful - if I exist, it is because I am horrified at existing. I am the one who pulls myself from the nothingness to which I aspire.
Jean-Paul SartreWe cannot withdraw our cards from the game. Were we as silent and mute as stones, our very passivity would be an act.
