I don't insist: no matter where I put it it will go on existing; I can't suppress it, nor can I suppress the rest of my body, the sweaty warmth, which soils my shirt, nor all this warm obesity which turns lazily, as if someone were stirring it with a spoon, nor all the sensations going on inside, going, coming, mounting from my side to my armpit or quietly vegetating from morning to night, in their usual corner.”", "creator": { "@type": "Person", "name": "Jean-Paul Sartre" }, "url": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/jean-paul-sartre/i-feel-my-hand-i-am-these-two-beasts-struggling-at-the-end-of-my-arms/", "image": { "@type": "ImageObject", "@id": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/i/76c/jean-paul-sartre-220_existence_i-feel-my-hand-i-am-these-two-beasts-str_2413061.jpg", "contentUrl": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/i/76c/jean-paul-sartre-220_existence_i-feel-my-hand-i-am-these-two-beasts-str_2413061.jpg", "url": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/i/76c/jean-paul-sartre-220_existence_i-feel-my-hand-i-am-these-two-beasts-str_2413061.jpg", "width": 1080, "height": 1080, "caption": "“I feel my hand.
