Quote by Jean-Paul Sartre

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

All human actions are equivalent and all are on principle do

Summary

This quote suggests that all human actions are ultimately equal in their potential for failure. It implies that regardless of our efforts, intentions, or goals, we are destined to face some degree of failure in our endeavors. This could be interpreted as a pessimistic view on human life, asserting that no matter what we do, our actions are ultimately futile. It invites a reflection on the idea of failure and challenges us to find meaning or purpose in our actions, despite their inevitable outcome.

I think the idea that you know who your inner self is on a daily basis, because... you know. What's good for you 25 years ago may not be good for you now. So, to keep in touch with that, I think that's the first ingredient for success. Because if you're a successful human being, everything else is gravy, I think.

The first demand any work of art makes upon us is surrender. Look. Listen. Receive. Get yourself out of the way. (There is no good asking first whether the work before you deserves such a surrender, for until you have surrendered you cannot possibly find out.)

Why is everyone here so happy except me? Because they have learned to see goodness and beauty everywhere, said the Master. Why don't I see goodness and beauty everywhere? Because you cannot see outside of you what you fail to see inside.

Happiness comes more from loving than being loved; and often when our affection seems wounded it is only our vanity bleeding. To love, and to be hurt often, and to love again -- this is the brave and happy life.
