Quote by Jean Paul Sartre

A kiss without a moustache, they said then, is like an egg without salt; I will add to it: and it is like Good without Evil.

A kiss without a moustache, they said then, is like an egg w

Summary

This quote implies that a kiss without a moustache lacks flavor or essence, much like an unsalted egg. By adding the analogy of "Good without Evil," it suggests that the absence of contrast or opposing elements diminishes the overall experience. Just as the presence of both good and evil helps us appreciate and understand the concept of goodness, a moustache adds an essential component to the act of kissing, making it more interesting and enjoyable.

Why do you go away? So that you can come back. So that you can see the place you came from with new eyes and extra colors. And the people there see you differently, too. Coming back to where you started is not the same as never leaving.

Nothing is more humbling than to look with a strong magnifying glass at an insect so tiny that the naked eye sees only the barest speck and to discover that nevertheless it is sculpted and articulated and striped with the same care and imagination as a zebra. Apparently it does not occur to nature whether or not a creature is within our range of vision, and the suspicion arises that even the zebra was not designed for our benefit.

But when a man draws a lifeless thing into his passionate longing for dialogue, lending it independence and as it were a soul, then there may dawn in him the presentiment of a world-wide dialogue with the world-happening that steps up to him even in his environment, which consists partially of things. Or do you seriously think that the giving and taking of signs halts on the threshold of that business where an honest and open spirit is found?
