"L'homme est une passion inutile" is a citation from Sartre's Being and Nothingness. It translates as "man is a useless passion."
A conversation from The Condemned of Altona depicts Sartre's "Man is a useless passion": "Franz (ironic admiration): [A] Star! And you didn't succeed? What did you want?" Johanna: "What does one want? Everything." F (slowly): "Everything, yes. Nothing else. All or nothing." (Laughing) "Turned out badly, eh?" J: "Always does."
