"The existentialist finds it extremely embarrassing that God does not exist, for there disappears with Him all possibility of finding values in an intelligible heaven…. Everything is indeed permitted if God does not exist, and man is in consequence forlorn, for he cannot find anything to depend upon either within or outside himself…. We are left alone, without excuse. That is what I mean when I say that man is condemned to be free."
Jean Paul Sartre, "Existentialism is a Humanism"
