Estelle: But we're going to --to hurt eachother. You said it yourself.

Inez: Do I look as if I wanted to hurt you?

Estelle: One can never tell.

Inez: Much more likely YOU'LL hurt ME. Still, what does it matter? If I've got to suffer, it may as well be at your hands, your pretty hands. Sit down. Come closer. Closer. Look into my eyes. What do you see?

Is the world really beautified by the fact that man thinks it beautiful?

He has humanized it, that is all.

Sartre Bulantı’da: "Yalnızlık; düşündüklerinizin kafanızın duvarlarına çarpıp tekrar içerde kalmasıdır.” diyor. Yalnızlık, etrafında kimsenin olmaması değil, seni anlayan birilerinin olmamasıdır. İnsan insanın sadece anlayışına muhtaç. Çünkü insan, yaşarken anlaşılmalıdır. Oğuz Atay’ın; “Beni hemen anlamalısın çünkü ben kitap değilim, öldükten sonra beni kimse okuyamaz.” sözünü bu yüzden tekrar ediyorum hep. İnsan sadece anlaşılmayı bekliyor. Sevgi dünyanın en kolay verilebilecek şeyi. Önemli olan dinlemek, anlamak. Sevdiklerinizi dinleyip anlayın.

Sartre speaks about how terrifying the awareness of freedom is to humanity because our freedom knows no bounds and yet the moment we are aware of being perceived, the moment we experience “the look”, we become obsessed with how people perceive us because we create relationships through how other people make us feel when they look at us.

This is what he means when he says “Hell is other people”

We exist in fire and brimstone, tied to chains, hopelessly shrieking in our minds because of “the look”, because of people’s “eyes”. To exist in Society, to be a part of humanity is to give up freedom. There is No Exit, only the hell we create through the thought of being seen, or being perceived

«Che bisogno c’era, – pensò con irritazione, – di mostrare le mie opinioni a gente che non può capirle!»
