Where can I find quotes from Jean-Paul Sartre with the original French and English translation?

I would like to find a list of quotes by philosophers (particularly Sartre) that contains both the original language and the English translation all in one place. Can you help me?|||Here are some excellent quotes by Sartre, but only in English though -





“Anything, anything would be better than this agony of mind, this creeping pain that gnaws and fumbles and caresses one and never hurts quite enough” - Jean-Paul Sartre





“We do not judge the people we love” - Jean-Paul Sartre





“We do not know what we want and yet we are responsible for what we are - that is the fact” - Jean-Paul Sartre





“If you are lonely when you're alone, you are in bad company” - Jean-Paul Sartre





“Life has no meaning the moment you lose the illusion of being eternal.” - Jean-Paul Sartre





“Freedom is what you do with what's been done to you.” - Jean-Paul Sartre





“Words are loaded pistols” - Jean-Paul Sartre





“It is only in our decisions that we are important.” - Jean-Paul Sartre





“Life has no meaning a priori . Before you come alive, life is nothing; it’s up to you to give it a meaning and value is nothing else but the meaning that you choose” - Jean-Paul Sartre

“Hell is other people.” - Jean-Paul Sartre





“Man is condemned to be free; because once thrown into the world, he is responsible for everything he does.” - Jean-Paul Sartre





“One always dies too soon - or too late. And yet one's whole life is complete at that moment, with a line drawn neatly under it, ready for the summing up. You are - your life, and nothing else.” - Jean-Paul Sartre





“That God does not exist, I cannot deny, That my whole being cries out for God I cannot forget” - Jean-Paul Sartre|||Jo W: If only a few would check your record of "Best Answers" gained by vote. Your scheme is obvious: You answer with a "Quotesdaddy" answer (unresponsive here); wait until the question goes to vote; and you get 15-18 "canned" votes. Your answer is not on point. Your ranking is unearned.

|||Tyler, certain questions so pique my interest on Y!A that I go on a hunt...this has been one of those. I have searched and searched, and have not yet come up with a site that has the original with English translation (I even looked in French).





Here is part of an answer for you--it has French and English for many philosophers, but alas, no Sartre! I will keep hunting...

If that link does not work, google this:

and then select The concise dictionary of foreign quotations - Google Books Result





or google

Here is another possibility using that google entry, but it appears as though you have to download a dictionary:
