More quotes by Simone de Beauvoir
I think that where you go wrong is that you imagine that your reasons for living ought to fall on you, ready-made from heaven, whereas we have to find them for ourselves.
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
One is not conceived a lady, one turns into one.
Simone de Beauvoir
There was a time, in the nineteenth century, for example, when women spoke mostly about the house, children, birth, and so forth, because it was their domain. That's changing a little, now.
Simone de Beauvoir
It's so easy to be mistaken about the future. Sometimes there are avant-gardes which believe themselves to be the avant-garde and which later find themselves to be absolutely dated.
Simone de Beauvoir
Youth and what the Italians so prettily call stamina. The vigor, the fire, that enables you to love and create. When you've lost that, you've lost everything.
Simone de Beauvoir
Since it is the Other within us who is old, it is natural that the revelation of our age should come to us from outside --from others. We do not accept it willingly.
Simone de Beauvoir
It is for man to establish the reign of liberty in the midst of the world of the given. To gain the supreme victory, it is necessary, for one thing, that by and through their natural differentiation men and women unequivocally affirm their brotherhood.
Simone de Beauvoir
A man of the right doesn't write in the same way as a man of the left, you can see that right away, or a woman of the right or a woman of the left.
Simone de Beauvoir
To be free is not to have the power to do anything you like it is to be able to surpass the given toward an open future.
Simone de Beauvoir
The fact that we are human beings is infinitely more important than all the peculiarities that distinguish human beings from one another.
Simone de Beauvoir
Each of us is responsible for everything and to every human being.
Simone de Beauvoir
She would never change, but one day at the touch of a fingertip she would fall to dust.
Simone de Beauvoir
Tonight, once more, life sinks its teeth into my heart.
Simone de Beauvoir
Christianity gave eroticism its savor of sin and legend when it endowed the human female with a soul.
Simone de Beauvoir
Whether you think of it as heavenly or as earthly, if you love life immortality is no consolation for death.
Simone de Beauvoir
It must be said in addition that the men with the most scrupulous respect for embryonic life are also those who are most zealous when it comes to condemning adults to death in war.
Simone de Beauvoir
If you haven't been happy very young, you can still be happy later on, but it's much harder. You need more luck.
Simone de Beauvoir
People seem to think that if you keep your head empty you automatically fill your balls.
Simone de Beauvoir
I could see no reason for being sad. It´s just that it makes me unhappy not to feel happy.
Simone de Beauvoir
