I finished Nausea by Jean-Paul Sartre.

Its an incredible piece of work. I think I understand Existentialism a little more.

Here’s a quote:

“I have crossed the seas, I have left cities behind me,

and I have followed the source of rivers towards their

source or plunged into forests, always making for other

cities. I have had women, I have fought with men ; and

I could never turn back any more than a record can spin

in reverse. And all that was leading me where ?

To this very moment…”

I think it highlights the world’s indifference to humanity: we exist to be remembered, and we’re remembered by how we choose to exist.

It’s a liberating thought. Sartre finds meaning…

He wanted to be remembered by Nausea. I’ll sure as hell remember him for Nausea
