God, how strongly things exist today.

Il pense donc que l'homme, sans aucun appui et sans aucun secours, est condamné à chaque instant à inventer l'homme.

This is what I mean when I say that man is condemned to be free: condemned, because he did not create himself, yet nonetheless free, because once cast into the world, he is responsible for everything that he does.

All these objects... how can I explain? They inconvenienced me; I would have liked the to exist less strongly, more dryly, in a more abstract way, with more reserve.

I know very well that I don't want to do anything: to do something is to create existence—and there's quite enough existence as it is.

Wiem bardzo dobrze, że nie chcę nic robić: czynić cokolwiek to stwarzać istnienie – a jest i tak wiele istnienia.

This instant which I cannot leave, which locks me in and limits me on every side, this instant I am made of will be no more than a confused dream.
