Change your life today. Don't gamble on the future, act now, without delay.
From Simone de Beauvoir
I wish that every human life might be pure transparent freedom.
One is not born a woman, but becomes one.
Why one man rather than another? It was odd. You find yourself involved with a fellow for life just because he was the one that you met when you were nineteen.
To catch a husband is an art; to hold him is a job.
It is old age, rather than death, that is to be contrasted with life. Old age is life's parody, whereas death transforms life into a destiny: in a way it preserves it by giving it the absolute dimension. Death does away with time.
Defending the truth is not something one does out of a sense of duty or to allay guilt complexes, but is a reward in itself.
Man is defined as a human being and a woman as a female - whenever she behaves as a human being she is said to imitate the male.
I tore myself away from the safe comfort of certainties through my love for truth - and truth rewarded me.
Society, being codified by man, decrees that woman is inferior; she can do away with this inferiority only by destroying the male's superiority.
