Jean-Paul Sartre was born in Paris, France in 1905. He is known for his existentialist philosophy. He was also paired with great thinker Simone De Beauvoir. The two carried on in a romantic relationship for years which served as the basis for much of De Beauvoir's writings. In addition to his philosophical work, Sartre has also published numerous plays and pieces of short fiction. He was awarded the Nobel Prize in Literature but declined the official honors, claiming that no writer should institutionalize himself. And yes, he was cross-eyed.
