• Entonces Sartre nos asegura que, debido a la desaparición final de Dios, ¡nuestra libertad es absoluta! Todo el público saluda con el sombrero o aplaude. Pero este entusiasmo natural se transforma bruscamente en algo mucho menos boyante cuando nos enteramos de que esta libertad nos carga inmediatamente con tremendas responsabilidades. Ahora tenemos que cargar con todas las preocupaciones de Dios sobre nuestros hombros -ahora que nos hemos convertido en hombres como dioses. En este punto comienzan la ansiedad y el abatimiento, que terminan en la desesperación más absoluta.

• To begin with, I hold that there is never an end; everything of which our life is composed, pictures and books as much as anything else, is a means only, in the sense that the work of art exists in the body of the movement of life. It may be a strong factor of progress and direction, but we cannot say that it is the end or reason of things, for it is so much implicated with them ; and when we are speaking of art we suddenly find that we are talking of life all the time.
