I was there, standing in front of a window whose panes had a definite refraction index. But what feeble barriers! I suppose it is out of laziness that the world is the same day after day. Today it seemed to want to change. And then, anything, anything could happen.
Jean-Paul SartreIt would be much better if I could only stop thinking. Thoughts are the dullest things. Duller than flesh. They stretch out and there's no end to them and they leave a funny taste in the mouth. Then there are words, inside the thoughts, unfinished words, a sketchy sentence which constantly returns

Jean-Paul SartreI thought I saw Anny smiling. I try to refresh my memory: I need to feel all the tenderness that Anny inspires; it is there, this tenderness, it is near me, only asking to be born. But the smile does not return: it is finished. I remain dry and empty.
Jean-Paul SartreПонимаешь, начать кого-нибудь любить - это целое дело. Нужна энергия, любопытство, ослепленность... Вначале бывает даже такая минута, когда нужно перепрыгнуть пропасть: стоит задуматься, и этого уже не сделаешь. Я знаю, что больше никогда не прыгну.
Jean-Paul SartreА теперь меня разбирал смех: метр пятьдесят три! Если бы я хотел поговорить с Блевинем, мне пришлось бы наклониться или согнуть колени.
