"Existence precedes essence."
-Jean Paul Sartre ...
(but maybe essence precedes existence?)


"It is inauthentic to refer to oneself through the eyes of others."

- Jean Paul Sartre


"One is not born a woman but becomes one."

- Simone de Beauvoir


"Man's greatness is his misery."

- Blaise Pascal


"One is never as happy nor as discontent as imagined."

- François de La Rouchefoucauld 


"Those who live without madness are not as wise as they believe."

- Francois de La Rouchefoucauld




These come across a little more powerful in French...
But an idea is an idea!
