More From Jean-Paul Sartre

There are similarities between absolute power and absolute faith: a demand for absolute obedience, a readiness to attempt the impossible, a bias for simple solutionsto cut the knot rather than unravel it, the viewing of compromise as surrender. both absolute power and absolute faith are instruments of dehumanization. hence, absolute faith corrupts as absolutely as absolute power.
Faith Cutting Power
There is a growing subculture of barefoot runners, people who got rid of their shoes. and what they have found uniformly is you get rid of the shoes, you get rid of the stress, you get rid of the injuries and the ailments.

If there is no absolute moral standard, then one cannot say in a final sense that anything is right or wrong. by absolute we mean that which always applies, that which provides a final or ultimate standard. there must be an absolute if there are to be morals, and there must be an absolute if there are to be real values. if there is no absolute beyond man's ideas, then there is no final appeal to judge between individuals and groups whose moral judgments conflict. we are merely left with conflicting opinions.

Literature cannot develop between the categories "permitted"—"not permitted"—"this you can and that you can't." literature that is not the air of its contemporary society, that dares not warn in time against threatening moral and social dangers, such literature does not deserve the name of literature; it is only a facade. such literature loses the confidence of its own people, and its published works are used as waste paper instead of being read. -letter to the fourth national congress of soviet writers

The difference between [socialism and fascism] is superficial and purely formal, but it is significant psychologically: it brings the authoritarian nature of a planned economy crudely into the open. the main characteristic of socialism (and of communism) is public ownership of the means of production, and, therefore, the abolition of private property. the right to property is the right of use and disposal. under fascism, men retain the semblance or pretense of private property, but the government holds total power over its use and disposal.

To paraphrase paul from the new testament, he has a great soliloquy about love, where he's basically saying, if i've figured out the secrets of the universe but i don't have love, figuring out the secrets of universe means nothing.
