French "author, dramatist". "He was a major playwright and exponent of existentialism, e.g., "Being and Nothingness, 1943."

If literature isn't everything, it's not worth a single hour of someone's trouble."

"Like all dreamers, I mistook disenchantment for truth."

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

"The more sand that has escaped from the hourglass of our life, the clearer we should see through it."

Everything has been figured out except how to live.
