On [:] Appear | Jean-Paul Sartre, 1938

Leon Spilliaert, Autoportrait, 1908

“Perhaps it is impossible to understand one’s own face. People who live in society have learned how to see themselves in mirrors as they appear to their friends. I have no friends. Is that why my flesh is so naked? You might say — yes you might say, nature without humanity.”

Jean-Paul Sartre, Nausea, 1938
