Quote by JeanPaul Sartre

Every existing thing is born without reason, prolongs itself out of weakness, and dies by chance.

Every existing thing is born without reason, prolongs itself

Summary

This quote, often attributed to Jean-Paul Sartre, suggests a nihilistic perspective on existence. It implies that there is no inherent purpose or meaning behind the creation or existence of anything. Rather, existence continues due to a sense of inertia or weakness, lacking any conscious choice or intention. Additionally, the notion of death by chance highlights the unpredictable and arbitrary nature of life's ultimate end. Overall, this quote highlights the existentialist belief in the absence of inherent meaning and the fundamentally absurd nature of existence.
