Who Said It: Sartre, Camus, or Garfield the Cat? by Gwen Glazer, CommunicationsJune 21, 2015

It's the 110th birthday of existentialist philosopher Jean-Paul Sartre. In his honor, we present a quiz with a touch of the ridiculous.

Check out the quotes below and figure out who said them: Sartre, his fellow French philosopher Albert Camus, or the lasagna-loving cartoon cat, Garfield?

We are all "condemned to be free," as Sartre famously said, so feel free to share your results in the comments section below.

Nope, you're not too late, but I'm not sure what's wrong... I can see it fine! Are you on a phone or a computer? Can you tell me what error message you're seeing?
