On ne na|t pas femme: on le devient. One is not born a woman: one becomes a woman.
Simone de Beauvoir
It's important that you think of your relationship with the world and the way you can express that world and that you not be stopped if it scandalizes or embarrasses but you must not look for scandal or for the avant-garde as a thing in itself.
Simone de Beauvoir
Life is occupied in both perpetuating itself and in surpassing itself if all it does is maintain itself, then living is only not dying.
Simone de Beauvoir
Harmony between two individuals is never granted-it has to be conquered indefinitely.
Simone de Beauvoir
No existence can be validly fulfilled if it is limited to itself.
Simone de Beauvoir
it is so difficult not to become vain about one's own good luck.
Simone de Beauvoir
There is no justification for present existence other than its expansion into an indefinitely open future.
Simone de Beauvoir
There is no such thing as a natural death: nothing that happens to a man is ever natural, since his presence calls the world into question. All men must die: but for every man his death is an accident and, even if he knows it and consents to it, an unjustifiable violation.
Simone de Beauvoir
It is impossible to do anything for anyone.
Simone de Beauvoir
Literature is born when something in life goes slightly adrift.
Simone de Beauvoir
I wish that every human life might be pure transparent freedom.
Simone de Beauvoir
There are moments when you have to write certain things and you don't have to think of your sex. If you are writing about the population of the thirteenth district in Paris, even if you are writing on the women in the thirteenth district, there's no need to consider your sex.
Simone de Beauvoir
Christianity gave eroticism its savor of sin and legend when it endowed the human female with a soul.
Simone de Beauvoir
I think that Freud understood absolutely nothing about women - as he himself said.
Simone de Beauvoir
Representation of the world, like the world itself, is the work of men they describe it from their own point of view, which they confuse with the absolute truth.
Simone de Beauvoir
Let women be provided with living strength of their own.
Simone de Beauvoir
What would Prince Charming have for occupation if he had not to awaken the Sleeping beauty?
Simone de Beauvoir
But I must admit I didn´t like that idea do the same thing as everyone else. Eating to live, living to eat - that had been the nightmare of my adolescence. If it meant going back to that, if would be just as well to turn on the gas at once. But I suppose everyone thinks of things like that: let´s turn on the gas at once. And you don´t turn it on.
Simone de Beauvoir
My life was hurrying, racing tragically toward its end. And yet at the same time it was dripping so slowly, so very slowly now, hour by hour, minute by minute. One always has to wait until the sugar melts, the memory dies, the wound scars over, the sun sets, the unhappiness lifts and fades away.
Simone de Beauvoir
Women have been burnt as witches simply because they were beautiful.
Simone de Beauvoir
