Sartre is excellent in some ways but he is like Edward Gibbon in one way... everynametaken Send a noteboard - 12/08/2013 02:04:56 AM

He didn't know when to shut the fuck up...
Seriously, his philosophical stuff like Being and Nothingness, while brilliant, goes on and on and on... over 800 to 900 pages depending on translation. He, like Gibbon, could have used a good editor.

But wine was the great assassin of both tradition and propriety...
