Jean-Paul Sartre (21 June 1905 – 15 April 1980) was the famous French existentialist philosopher, playwright, novelist, intellectual and babe. Most well known for his philosophies outlining the idea of every man being free as long as they had the option to make their own decisions; really they were just a great big ‘up yours’ to the collaborators and Vichy government at the time of the Nazi occupation of France. In 1964 he was awarded the Nobel Prize for Literature, but turned it down because he didn’t want to be made into ‘an institution.’
