Jean-Paul Sartre. Being and nothingness (№ 440026)

Man bears the whole weight of the world on his shoulders: he is responsible for the world and for himself as a certain way of being... Therefore, there is no accident in life. Not a single social event that suddenly arose and captivated me comes from outside: if I am mobilized for war, this is my war, I am guilty of it, and I deserve it. I deserve it above all because I could avoid it by suicide or desertion. If I didn't, then I chose her.
