Nowhere is it written that the Good exists, that we must be honest, that we must not lie; because the fact is that we are on a plane where there are only men. Dostoyevsky said, If God didn't exist, everything would be possible. That is the very starting point of existentialism. Indeed, everything is permissible if God does not exist, and as a result man is forlorn, because neither within him nor without does he find anything to cling to.

Man is condemned to be free; because once thrown into the world, he is responsible for everything he does.

Should I betray the proletariat to serve truth or betray truth in the name of the proletariat?

Man is condemned to be free; because once thrown into the world, he is responsible for everything he does.

Everything has been figured out except how to live.
