Hell is other people

A quote from French philosopher Jean- Paul Sartre's play "No Exit". It's a phrase meaning if relations with someone else are twisted and broken then that person can only be hell. The reason why is because when we try to think about and know ourselves, we use the knowledge of us that people already have.



Hell is other people
A phrase with fresh meaning in 2020, when people all over the world are commanded by law to stay far away from each other, when the innocent presence of another human can cause your death.

The line is from Jean-Paul Sartre's 1944 play 'No Exit".
Example:
Having been friendly and gregarious all his life, he was now forced to acknowledge that, in the present moment, hell is other people.


Hell Is Other People
This is an excellent description of most if not all peoples lives.

It originated from a play written by Jean Paul Sartre, who was at the time an existentialist. The play was named "No Exit" (1944), and was about three people trapped in a hotel room indefinitly (the afterlife) while in a love triangle in which no two people felt attraction to each other. During the last line of the play, one of the characters screams "Hell Is Other People!!!!!". It has integrated itself into popular culture's vocabulary while most of the unwashed masses never know its origin.
Example:
The annoying guy with the nail clipping habit and halatosis breath is sitting next to you in the carpool again.
