“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 (1905–1980) was a French philosopher, playwright, novelist, and political activist best known for developing the existentialist movement. His works such as *Being and Nothingness* and the play *No Exit* explore themes of freedom, responsibility, and the human condition. Sartre was awarded the Nobel Prize in Literature in 1964, which he declined.
