Man is condemned to be free; because once thrown into the world, he is responsible for everything he does.

Life has no meaning the moment you lose the illusion of being eternal.

I think therefore I am is the statement of an intellectual who underrates toothaches.

Man is nothing else but what he makes of himself.

In the depth of winter, I finally learned that within me there lay an invincible summer.

There is only one really serious philosophical problem, and that is suicide.

Freedom is what you do with what's been done to you.

To be is to do.

Life is not a problem to be solved, but a reality to be experienced.

Anxiety is the dizziness of freedom.

One must imagine Sisyphus happy.

Hell is other people.

We are our choices.

The only way to deal with an unfree world is to become so absolutely free that your very existence is an act of rebellion.

Life is a shipwreck, but we must not forget to sing in the lifeboats.

To live is to suffer, to survive is to find some meaning in the suffering.

Man is the only creature who refuses to be what he is.

The existential vacuum manifests itself mainly in a state of boredom.

What is called a reason for living is also an excellent reason for dying.

We are not given a meaning, we create it.

The most terrifying thing is to accept oneself completely.

Every existing thing is born without reason, prolongs itself out of weakness, and dies by chance.

To know what you're going to draw, you have to begin drawing.

I am my choices. I cannot not choose. If I do not choose, that is still a choice.

Freedom is not something that anybody can be given. Freedom is something people take, and people are as free as they want to be.

The existential attitude is one of confusion and disorientation in the face of an apparently meaningless world.

Life is a question, and the answer is how you live it.

We are alone, with no excuses. That is the idea I shall try to convey when I say that man is condemned to be free.
