More quotes by Simone de Beauvoir
... to adapt one's outlook to another person's salvation is the surest and quickest way of losing him.
Simone de Beauvoir
Let women be provided with living strength of their own.
Simone de Beauvoir
The role of a retired person is no longer to possess one.
Simone de Beauvoir
Art is an attempt to integrate evil.
Simone de Beauvoir
The day knowledge was preferred to wisdom and mere usefulness to beauty. . . . Only a moral revolution -- not a social or a political revolution -- only a moral revolution would lead man back to his lost truth.
Simone de Beauvoir
You have never had any confidence in him. And if he has no confidence in himself it is because he sees himself through your eyes.
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
Cooking is revolution and creation.
Simone de Beauvoir
Anger or revolt that does not get into the muscles remains a figment of the imagination.
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
It is in the knowledge of the genuine conditions of our lives that we must draw our strength to live and our reasons for living.
Simone de Beauvoir
I don't want to be just another blade of grass.
Simone de Beauvoir
Retirement may be looked upon either as a prolonged holiday or as a rejection, a being thrown on to the scrap-heap.
Simone de Beauvoir
At bottom, antipsychiatry is still psychiatry. And it doesn't really address itself to women's problems.
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
I am not at all for a feminism which is entirely separatist, which would say, this domain is purely for women. I don't believe that at all.
Simone de Beauvoir
To refuse everything, to say, even when there is something which really should be done, Ah, that's no longer feminist, is a pessimistic, even masochistic tendency in women, the result of having been habituated to inertia, to pessimism.
Simone de Beauvoir
People seem to think that if you keep your head empty you automatically fill your balls.
Simone de Beauvoir
A man is in the right in being a man it is the woman who is in the wrong.
Simone de Beauvoir
