Jean-Paul Sartre
68
Identity
"In life, a man commits himself, draws his own portrait, and there is nothing but that portrait. Our illusions and imaginings about ourselves, about what we could have been, are noting but self-deception.“
"Man is not the sum of what he has already, but rather the sum of what he does not yet have, of what he could have.“
"My thought is me: that is why I cannot stop thinking. I exist because I think I cannot keep from thinking."
Existence
"There is only one day left, always starting over: it is given to us at dawn and taken away from us at dusk.“
"Death is a continuation of my life without me...“
"Hell is other people.“
"Despite different roles and historical situations, we all have to be in the world, to labor and die there. These circumstances are everywhere recognizable; and subjective because they are lived and are nothing if we do not live them."

Freedom & The Meaning of Life
God
"God is dead. Let us not understand by this that he does not exist or even that he no longer exists. He is dead. He spoke to us and is silent. We no longer have anything but his cadaver. Perhaps he slipped out of the world, somewhere else like the soul of a dead man. Perhaps he was only a dream...God is dead.“
"God is absence. God is the solitude of man."
"Man is condemned to freedom, a freedom from all authority, which he may seek to evade, distort, and deny but which he will have to face if he is to become a moral being. The meaning of man's life is not established before his existence. Once the terrible freedom is acknowledged, man has to make this meaning himself, has to commit himself to a role in this world, has to commit his freedom. “
"Life has no meaning the moment you loose the illusion of being eternal."
