  • JeanPaul Sartre Quote #1

    -Skonczylam sie. Wcale nie jestem smutna. Czesto sie temu dziwilam, ale nie mialam racji: dlaczegóz mialabym byc smutna? Kiedys bylam zdolna do dosc pieknych namietnosci. Namietnie nienawidzilam swojej matki. A ciebie znowu – mówi z wyznaniem – ciebie kochalam namietnie. Wszystko to oczywiscie skonczylo sie.
    -Skad o tym wiesz?
    -Wiem. Wiem, ze juz nigdy nie napotkam niczego i nikogo, kto móglby wzbudzic moja namietnosc. Wiesz, zeby móc kogos pokochac, to cale przedsiewziecie. Trzeba miec energie, ciekawosc, zaslepienie… jest nawet taka chwila na poczatku, kiedy trzeba przeskoczyc nad przepascia: kto sie zastanowi, nie zrobi tego. Wiem, ze juz nigdy nie skocze. Obecnie zyje w otoczeniu moich martwych namietnosci. Próbuje odnalezc te piekna wscieklosc.

He clenched his fists, he strode along, but nothing came, the anger remained external to himself.
