Jean-Paul Sartre would be so proud of you.

Jean-Paul Sartre declined the Nobel Prize in Literature.
Sartre declined the prize, saying that he never accepted any official honours and that he did not want the writer to become an institution.

4 0 ReplyI'm sure I'm going to say this poorly, but one of the things he focused on was meaningful decisions. So there's a joke that goes:
Jean-Paul Sartre was sitting at a coffee shop when the waitress came up and asked him if he wanted anything else.
He said, "I'll take a coffee, with no cream."
She responded, "I'm sorry, but we're all out of cream. I can get you a coffee with no milk though."
