Life is a useless passion.

Jean-Paul Sartre

Passion, Useless, Life Is

We must act out passion before we can feel it.

Inspirational, Philosophical, Passion

[M]an is condemned to be free. Condemned, because he did not create himself, in other respect is free; because, once thrown into the world, he is responsible for everything he does. The Existentialist does not believe in the power of passion. He will never agree that a sweeping passion is a ravaging torrent which fatally leads a man to certain acts and is therefore an excuse. He thinks that man is responsible for his passion.

L'homme est une passion inutile. Man is a useless passion.

Passion, Men, Useless

'L'Être et le nèant' (1943) pt. 4, ch. 2

I know. I know that I shall never again meet anything or anybody who will inspire me with passion. You know, it's quite a job starting to love somebody. You have to have energy, generosity, blindness. There is even a moment, in the very beginning, when you have to jump across a precipice: if you think about it you don't do it. I know I'll never jump again.
