I have nothing to do with the partisans. I wish to defy society not in order to improve it, but to hold it at bay no matter what. I suspend my achievements — but also my demands.

About This Quote

The definition of life, by Jean-Paul Sartre, is to refuse the rules of society, to hold society at bay. This quote describes Sartre’s philosophy of life. He wanted to be free, to do what he wanted, when he wanted. He did not want to rule society; he did not want people to obey; he did not want traditions; he did not want laws; he did not want obligations; he did not want to obey.
