“…if what I say is responsible, I alone am responsible for the saying of it…”
RTNDA Convention Speech (1958)
Part 4, Chapter 1, III
Being and Nothingness (1943)
Context: I am responsible for everything … except for my very responsibility, for I am not the foundation of my being. Therefore everything takes place as if I were compelled to be responsible. I am abandoned in the world … in the sense that I find myself suddenly alone and without help, engaged in a world for which I bear the whole responsibility without being able, whatever I do, to tear myself away from this responsibility for an instant.
As reported by David Ashley (1995) and quoted in Brother Number One (1999) by David P. Chandler
