All human activities are equivalent ... and ... all are on principle doomed to failure.

Man is condemned to be free; because once thrown into the world, he is responsible for everything he does.

It is certain that we cannot escape anguish, for we are anguish.

The For-itself, in fact, is nothing but the pure nihilation of the In-itself; it is like a hole of being at the heart of Being.

Man is always separated from what he is by all the breadth of the being which he is not. He makes himself known to himself from the other side of the world and he looks from the horizon toward himself to recover his inner being.

Generally speaking there is no irreducible taste or inclination. They all represent a certain appropriative choice of being. It is up to existential psychoanalysis to compare and classify them. Ontology abandons us here; it has merely enabled us to determine the ultimate ends of human reality, its fundamental possibilities, and the value which haunts it.

But, if it will help ease your irritated souls, please know, dearly departed, that you have ruined our lives.
