Jean Paul Sartre was someone who had a massive influence on people, yet he did not seem to have the credentials to support it. It seems that he was in the right place at the right time, and this gave him the momentum, which he needed to keep his place in society with massive influence. Sartre's most successful part of life was his middle ages, and even then, he wrote quantity without quality, making large sums of money from it somehow, and not caring either way. Even with this against him, he managed to be a pivotal character in the creation of existentialism, a term supposedly made up by the media, and later adopted by Sartre.
Sartre is a very short man at only five feet two inches. His mother told him as a child that he was beautiful, but because of being beat up he realized that he was very ugly during his school days.
