Jean-Paul Sartre Quotes

You Cling So Tightly To Your Purity, My Lad! How Terrified You Are Of Sullying Your Hands. Well, Go Ahead Then, Stay Pure! What Good Will It Do, And Why Even Bother Coming Here Among Us? Purity Is A Concept Of Fakirs And Friars. But You, The Intellectuals, The Bourgeois Anarchists, You Invoke Purity As Your Rationalization For Doing Nothing. Do Nothing, Don't Move, Wrap Your Arms Tight Around Your Body, Put On Your Gloves. As For Myself, My Hands
are Dirty. I Have Plunged My Arms Up To The Elbows In Excrement And Blood. And What Else Should One Do? Do You Suppose That It Is Possible To Govern
innocently?
