Jean-Paul Sartre, Existentialism Is a Humanism

"Il n'y a de réalité que dans l'action.(There is no reality except in action.)"

"In life man commits himself and draws his own portrait, outside of which there is nothing. No doubt this thought may seem harsh to someone who has not made a success of his life. But on the other hand, it helps people to understand that reality alone counts, and that dreams, expectations and hopes only serve to define a man as a broken dream, aborted hopes, and futile expectations."
