QUOTE: On October 22, 1964, existentialist author Jean Paul Sartre was awarded the prestigious Nobel Prize for literature, which he chose to decline. His refusal was not an impulsive decision, but rather one based on longstanding personal and objective considerations. Sartre had also turned down the French Legion of Honor, as well as other accolades and honors in the past, so the folks on the Nobel committee were in pretty good company. todayifoundout/index.php/2014/10/day-history-october-22nd/?utm_source=feedburner&utm_medium=feed&utm_campaign=Feed%3A+TodayIFoundOut+(Today+I+Found+Out)
