"Invention consists in avoiding the constructing of useless contraptions and in constructing the useful combinations which are in infinite minority."

“If we knew exactly the laws of nature and the situation of the universe at the initial moment, we could predict exactly the situation of the same universe at a succeeding moment.”

vicit pudorem libido timorem audacia rationem amentia

Lust conquered shame; audacity, fear; madness, reason

In rhetoric, zeugma (i/ˈzuːɡmə/ or /ˈzjuːɡmə/; from the Ancient Greek ζεῦγμα, zeûgma, lit. "a yoking together"[1]) and syllepsis (/sɪˈlɛpsɪs/; from the Ancient Greek σύλληψις, sullēpsis, lit. "a taking together"[2]) are figures of speech in which one single phrase or word joins different parts of a sentence.[3]

femme au mirroir

In the same way* as I made Les Demoiselles d'Avignon, this is Femme au Mirroir. 

* Recreate a Picasso painting using only the items I have at home (which can include my own self)

les mots

Les Mots, Jean-Paul Sartre. 1963

The text is divided into two near-equal parts entitled 'Reading' and 'Writing'. However, according to Philippe Lejeune, these two parts are only a façade and are not relevant to the chronological progression of the work. He considers the text to instead be divided into five parts which he calls 'acts':

• The first act presents in chronological order the 'prehistory' of the child by giving his family origin.

• The second act evokes the different roles Sartre acted out in his seclusion to an imaginary world, enabled by his family.^[1]

• The third act tells of his conscious realization of his imposture, his contingency, his fear of death and his ugliness.

• The fourth act presents the development of a new imposture, in which Sartre took up multiple different postures of writing.

• The fifth act relates Sartre's delusion, which he considers the source of his dynamism, and contains the announcement of a second book which he did not complete before his death
