"He always refused official honors"
Why was this?|||He declined the 1964 prize in protest of the United States involvement in Vietnam. He didn't believe he should win something from a country that he could not support.|||It was a matter of principle; George C. Scott stood on the same principle when he refused to show up and accept the Academy award.|||Jean-Paul Sartre probably declined his official honors because maybe he feels that people who accept such awards do it to look good rather than do it to feed their own passion.
I am going to assume that his principal was to not boost his ego and try to seem as humble about winning these awards as possible
