Ce gros mollasson qui s'obstine à vivre, qui vivra sous tous les régimes, humble, mystifié, coriace, qui vivra pour rien (, Mort ds âme, 1949, p.198).

"Nous sommes nos choix" from Sartre translates as "we are our choices"

Another way of saying this might be "nous sommes l'argent de nos parents"

Lots of literary quotes sound good but are actually short-sighted and dumb (and prob taken out of context a lot of the time, too)

Da gibt es einen Menschen der schreibt mir nicht mehr, weil ers nicht konnte: Gefühlsebene, Nähe … to much alles. Dann heult dieser Mensch herum, hinterfragt 1000 Dinge, wiederholt sich, leidet. Dann erfahre ich das dieser Mensch neu verliebt ist. Leben. Seltsam. Was würde wohl Sartre dazu sagen?

No worries - Interzone is a cherished institution for me, it's lead me to soooo much wonder in my life.

I'm pretty sure I remember reading 's Learning To Be Me in an IZ or maybe trade paperback collection.

That story fucked me up more than 's Nausea.

Romania born, Paris-dwelling legend of aburdist and avant-garde theatre, Eugène didn’t appreciate Jean-Paul Sartre’s bougie performative maoism. At all. So he called the nationally revered the king of idiots…

…and in his play Jeu de massacre (The killing game) from 1970 - where what feels like hundreds of people die for two hours - two unnamed characters that are obviously Sartre and Camus share the longest scene of the play, dying miserably while they argue😃

Hell is other people.

's argument invokes the nature of what we are as a species despite his resolution of free will. It follows at best one'd argue 'Hell is other people's choices' meaning it's not necessary or intrinsic humanity.

Think about that.

The French existentialist Jean-Paul Sartre was sitting at a café table working. A waitress approached him.
"Can I get you something to drink, Monsieur Sartre?" she asked.
"Yes, I’d like a cup of coffee with sugar, but no cream," the philosopher replied.
A few minutes later, the waitress returned and said,
"I’m sorry, Monsieur Sartre, we are all out of cream — how about with no milk?"

Wusstet ihr, dass es in auch 1965 noch eine öffentliche gab?
Jugendliche Angehörige des 'Bundes entschiedener Christen' verbrannten mit behördlicher und polizeilicher Genehmigung am Rheinufer Bücher von z.B. , , und , weil diese Werke eine schlechte Wirkung auf sie gehabt hätten.
Nicht Goebbels, sondern der Apostel Paulus habe sie inspiriert.
1965. Mit behördlicher Genehmigung.

"... Into whatever I feel within myself someone else’s judgment enters. . . . But that does not at all mean that one cannot have relations with other people. It simply brings out the capital importance of all other people for each one of us." - Sartre

"Because. . . when we think about ourselves, when we try to know ourselves, . . . we use the knowledge of us which other people already have. We judge ourselves with the means other people have and have given us for judging ourselves. Into whatever I say about myself someone else’s judgment always enters..."

" . . .“hell is other people” has always been misunderstood. It has been thought that what I meant by that was that our relations with other people are always poisoned, that they are invariably hellish relations. But what I really mean is something totally different. I mean that if relations with someone else are twisted, vitiated, then that other person can only be hell. Why? ..."

It dismays me how much public discourse could be fast forwarded past if "The True Believer" and "Anti-Semite and Jew" were more widely read.
