More quotes by Simone de Beauvoir
If the unconscious must express itself it will do so through the work that you do consciously or subconsciously, with words, with what you have to say.
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
No one is more arrogant toward women, more aggressive or scornful, than the man who is anxious about his virility.
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
You can't address yourself to women by speaking a language which no average woman will understand. In my opinion, it's wrong.
Simone de Beauvoir
Writing is a trade ... which is learned by writing.
Simone de Beauvoir
Ce n'est gue' re que dans les asiles que les coquettes gardent avec ente tement une foi entie' re en des regards absents normalement, elles re clament des te moins. Women fond of dress are hardly ever entirely satisfied not to be seen, except among the insane usually they want witnesses.

Simone de Beauvoir
Literature is always what the dominant ideology recognizes as literature.
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
I consider it almost antifeminist to say that there is a feminine nature which expresses itself differently, that a woman speaks her body more than a man, because after all, men also speak their bodies when they write. Everything is implicated in the work of a writer.
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
Oppression tries to defend itself by its utility.
Simone de Beauvoir
When we abolish the slavery of half of humanity, together with the whole system of hypocrisy it implies, then the division of humanity will reveal its genuine significance and the human couple will find its true form.
Simone de Beauvoir
A man would never get the notion of writing a book on the peculiar situation of the human male.
Simone de Beauvoir
Harmony between two individuals is never granted-it has to be conquered indefinitely.
Simone de Beauvoir
If women really did have complete equality with men, society would be completely overturned.
Simone de Beauvoir
One is not conceived a lady, one turns into one.
Simone de Beauvoir
Christian ideology has contributed no little to the oppression of woman.
Simone de Beauvoir
La femme?sait que quand on la regarde on ne la distingue pas de son apparence: elle est juge e, respecte e, de sire e a' travers sa toilette. Woman?knows that when she is looked at she is not considered apart from her appearance: she is judged, respected, desired, by and through her toilette.
