Sometimes I know there is nothing to say
So do I pick up my puzzle and just walk away?
Do I follow my conscience?
Am I mock sincere?
I don’t know what i’m doing here
I have a knack for perceving things
I can see how it sounds
I can feel how it seems
When you paint me an image of who you are
I know it’s the best by far
So
Don’t, don’t, don’t mess my hair
If all you do is fake it
Don’t, don’t, don’t say you care
’cause I could never shake it
Don’t, don’t, don’t mess with me
Don’t, don’t, don’t mess with me
No point of view is enough to quell
The rigors of passion in this world I dwell
If I’m going to scale the highest wall
I’m gonna give it my all
Riding along with this train of thought
I see everything
I find all I sought
And I try to kick the habit of trying to reach
But there’s something I do beseech
So please…
Don’t, don’t, don’t mess my hair
If all you do is fake it
Don’t, don’t, don’t say you care
’cause I could never shake it
Don’t, don’t, don’t mess with me
Don’t, don’t, don’t mess with me
I’ll say it’s not surprising
You’re sweet talking, mesmerizing
Juicy and appetizing, true
But will I need to get over you?
Feels like my sun is rising
Tick tick tick, synchronizing
Readjusting, organizing me
Is this fiction reality?
Bless the uncompromising
With no shame for advertising
When my needs go through downsizing
I need someone to pick up my beat
My dreams need realizing,
candles on sugar icing
Judgment and harmonizing
Or it’ll end up like before
Don’t, don’t, don’t mess my hair
If all you do is fake it
Don’t, don’t, don’t say you care
’cause I could never shake it
Don’t, don’t, don’t mess with me
Don’t, don’t, don’t mess with me
JEAN PAUL SARTRE
Quotations of Jean-Paul Sartre
“Hell is other people.”
(Jean-Paul Sartre / 1905-1980 / No exit / 1945)
“The existentialist… thinks it very distressing that God does not exist, because all possibility of finding values in a heaven of ideas disappears along with Him; there can no longer be an a priori Good, since there is no infinite and perfect consciousness to think it. Nowhere is it written that the Good exists, that we must be honest, that we must not lie; because the fact is we are on a plane where there are only men. Dostoievsky said, “If God didn’t exist, everything would be possible.” That is the very starting point of existentialism. Indeed, everything is permissible if God does not exist, and as a result man is forlorn, because neither within him nor without does he find anything to cling to. He can’t start making excuses for himself.”
(Jean-Paul Sartre / 1905-1980 / Existentialism and Humanism /1945)
“Man is condemned to be free; because once thrown into the world, he is responsible for everything he does.”
(Jean-Paul Sartre / 1905-1980 / Existentialism and Humanism /1945)
“Existentialism isn’t so atheistic that it wears itself out showing that God doesn’t exist. Rather, it declares that even if God did exist, that would change nothing.”
(Jean-Paul Sartre / 1905-1980 / Existentialism and Humanism /1945)
“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.”
(Jean-Paul Sartre / 1905-1980 / Situations 1 / 1947)
“When the rich wage war it’s the poor who die.”
(Jean-Paul Sartre / 1905-1980 / The Devil and the Good Lord / 1951)
“Death is a continuation of my life without me…”
(Jean-Paul Sartre / 1905-1980 / The Condemned of Altona / 1959)
“There are two kinds of existentialist; first, those who are Christian…and on the other hand the atheistic existentialists, among whom…I class myself. What they have in common is that they think that existence precedes essence, or, if you prefer, that subjectivity must be the turning point.”
(Jean-Paul Sartre / 1905-1980)
“I confused things with their names: that is belief.”
(Jean-Paul Sartre / 1905-1980 / Words 1964)
“Life has no meaning the moment you loose the illusion of being eternal.”
(Jean-Paul Sartre / 1905-1980)
“That God does not exist, I cannot deny, That my whole being cries out for God I cannot forget.”
(Jean-Paul Sartre / 1905-1980)
“Freedom is what you do with what’s been done to you.”
(Jean-Paul Sartre / 1905-1980)
“God is absence. God is the solitude of man.”
(Jean-Paul Sartre / 1905-1980)
“To believe is to know you believe, and to know you believe is not to believe.”
(Jean-Paul Sartre / 1905-1980)
Jean-Paul Charles Aymard Sartre (French pronunciation: [sa?t?], English: /?s?rt/; 21 June 1905 – 15 April 1980) was a French existentialist philosopher, playwright, novelist, screenwriter, political activist, biographer, and literary critic. He was one of the leading figures in 20th century French philosophy, existentialism, and Marxism, and his work continues to influence fields such as Marxist philosophy, sociology, and literary studies. Sartre was also noted for his long relationship with the author and social theorist, Simone de Beauvoir. He was awarded the 1964 Nobel Prize in Literature but refused the honour.
