Man is not the sum of what he has already, but rather the sum of what he does not yet have, of what he could have.

Generosity is nothing else than a craze to possess. All which I abandon, all which I give, I enjoy in a higher manner through the fact that I give it away. To give is to enjoy possessively the object which one gives.


~ Jean-Paul Sartre

Picked up "Being and Nothingness" on a whim today, this should be fun :)

That second quote is interesting.. I am not sure what he's getting at as I thought genorsity and giving were one and the same. Or maybe I just can't comprehend Sartre at 5:30am!!
