“Once Right has taken hold of a man exorcism cannot drive it out.”

“That God does not exist, I cannot deny, That my whole being cries out for God I cannot forget.”

“Once freedom lights its beacon in man's heart, the gods are powerless against him.”

“all of us abandon ourselves to existence, because we were amongourselves, only among ourselves, it has taken us unawares, in the disorder, the day to day drift: I amashamed for myself and for what exists in front of it.”

“Man is condemned to be free; because once thrown into the world, he is responsible for everything he does. It is up to you to give [life] a meaning.”

“And I too wanted to be. That is all I wanted; and this is the last word. At the bottom of all these attempts which seemed without bounds, I find the same desire again: to drive existence out of me, to rid the passing moments of their fat, to twist them, dry them, purify myself, harden myself, to give back at last the sharp, precise sound of a saxophone note. That could even make an apologue: there was a poor man who got in the wrong world.”

“The writer, a free man adressing free men, has only one subject - freedom”
