Simone de Beauvoir Quote: “She offered her mouth to him, as if enchanted. A Persian princess, a little Indian, a fox, a morning glory, a lovely wisteria – it always pleased them when you told them they looked like something, like something else.”
Simone de Beauvoir Quote: “Even if one is neither vain nor self-obsessed, it is so extraordinary to be oneself – exactly oneself and no one else – and so unique, that it seems natural that one should also be unique for someone else.”
Simone de Beauvoir Quote: “It is in great part the anxiety of being a woman that devastates the feminine body.”
Simone de Beauvoir Quote: “Between women love is contemplation; caresses are meant less to appropriate the other than to recreate oneself slowly through her; separation is eliminated, there is neither fight nor victory nor defeat; each one is both subject and object.”
Simone de Beauvoir Quote: “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 Quote: “The whole world was nothing but an exile with no hope of a return.”
Simone de Beauvoir Quote: “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.”

Simone de Beauvoir Quote: “The relation of woman to husband, of of daughter to father, of sister to brother, is a relation of vassalage.”
Simone de Beauvoir Quote: “I should like to be the landscape which I am contemplating, I should like this sky, this quiet water to think themselves within me, that it might be I whom they express in flesh and bone, and I remain at a distance. But it is also by this distance that the sky and the water exist before me.”
Simone de Beauvoir Quote: “But I miss you to the point of anguish.”
Simone de Beauvoir Quote: “The tie that binds her to her oppressors is unlike any other. The division of the sexes is a biological given, not a moment in human history.”

Simone de Beauvoir Quote: “All around me the world lies like an immense hypothesis that I no longer verify.”
Simone de Beauvoir Quote: “So not every female human being is necessarily a woman; she must take part in this mysterious and endangered reality known as femininity. Is femininity secreted by the ovaries? Is it enshrined in a Platonic heaven?”
Simone de Beauvoir Quote: “History is a great cemetery: men, deeds, ideas are always dying as soon as they are born.”
Simone de Beauvoir Quote: “The adventure is which I have shared so passionately is not over – this adventure with its doubt, failure, the dreariness of no progress, then a glimpse of light, a hope, a hypothesis confirmed; and then after weeks and months of anxious perseverance, the intoxication of success.”
Simone de Beauvoir Quote: “I haven’t abandoned you, my little ally, my heart. I kiss you with all my soul.”
Simone de Beauvoir Quote: “A man is in the right in being a man; it is the woman who is in the wrong.”
Simone de Beauvoir Quote: “To be oneself, simply oneself, is so amazing and utterly unique an experience that it’s hard to convince oneself so singular a thing happens to everybody.”
Simone de Beauvoir Quote: “Lynching is an absolute evil; it represents the survival of an obsolete civilization, the perpetuation of a struggle of races which has to disappear;.”
Simone de Beauvoir Quote: “When Goya was 80 he drew an ancient man propped on two sticks, with a great mass of white hair and beard all over his face, and the inscription, “I am still learning.””
Simone de Beauvoir Quote: “Only man can be an enemy for man; only he can rob him of the meaning of his acts and his life because it also belongs only to him alone to confirm it in its existence, to recognize it in actual fact as a freedom.”
Simone de Beauvoir Quote: “It’s frightening to think that you mark your children merely by being yourself. It seems unfair. You can’t assume the responsibility for everything you do – or don’t do.”
Simone de Beauvoir Quote: “As long as there have been men and they have lived, they have all felt this tragic ambiguity of their condition, but as long as there have been philosophers and they have thought, most of them have tried to mask it.”
Simone de Beauvoir Quote: “It was a lovely autumn day with a blue sky: I made my way through a lead-coloured world, and I realized that my mother’s accident was affecting me far more than I had thought it would. I could not really see why. It had wrenched her out of the framework, the role, the set of images in which I had imprisoned her: I recognized her in this patient in bed, but I did not recognize either the pity or the kind of disturbance that she aroused in me.”
Simone de Beauvoir Quote: “It is so tiring to hate someone you love.”
Simone de Beauvoir Quote: “Hegel held that the two sexes were of necessity different, the one being active and the other passive, and of course the female would be the passive one.”
Simone de Beauvoir Quote: “Women- except in certain abstract gatherings such as conferences- do not use “we”; men say “women,” and women adopt this word to refer to themselves; but they do not posit themselves authentically as Subjects .”
Simone de Beauvoir Quote: “A freedom which is interested only in denying freedom must be denied. And it is not true that the recognition of the freedom of others limits my own freedom: 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; the existence of others as a freedom defines my situation and is even the condition of my own freedom. I am oppressed if I am thrown into prison, but not if I am kept from throwing my neighbor into prison.”
Simone de Beauvoir Quote: “The ballot box is a most inadequate mechanism of change.”
Simone de Beauvoir Quote: “There are cases where the slave does not know his servitude and where it is necessary to bring the seed of his liberation to him from the outside: his submission is not enough to justify the tyranny which is imposed upon him.”
Simone de Beauvoir Quote: “The fact that she accomplishes nothing, that she is nothing, will make her impulses only the more passionate. Empty and unlimited, she seeks from within her nothingness to attain All.”
Simone de Beauvoir Quote: “Let women be provided with living strength of their own.”
Simone de Beauvoir Quote: “But what does the word insist mean after a whole life of love and understanding? I have never asked anything for myself that I did not also wish for him.”
Simone de Beauvoir Quote: “Life has made me discover the world as it is, that is, a world of suffering and oppression, of undernourishment for the majority of people, things that I didn’t know when I was young and when I imagined that to discover the world was to discover something beautiful.”
Simone de Beauvoir Quote: “Uno no puede responder con nada a la ausencia.”
Simone de Beauvoir Quote: “In order to be an artist, one must be deeply rooted in the society.”
Simone de Beauvoir Quote: “The arrogance of some Christians would close heaven to them if, to their misfortune, it existed.”
Simone de Beauvoir Quote: “It is difficult for men to measure the enormous extent of social discrimination that seems insignificant form the outside and whose moral and intellectual repercussions are so deep in woman that they appear to spring from an original nature. The man most sympathetic to women never knows her concrete situation fully.”
Simone de Beauvoir Quote: “But this element of failure is a very condition of his life; one can never dream of eliminating it without immediately dreaming of death. This does not mean that one should consent to failure, but rather one must consent to struggle against it without respite.”
Simone de Beauvoir Quote: “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 Quote: “God! when you think of all the things you could do and yet somehow never do! All the opportunities you let slip by! The idea, the inspiration just doesn’t come fast enough. Instead of being open, you’re closed up tight. Thats’s the worst sin of all – the sin of omission.”
Simone de Beauvoir Quote: “The world brings itself into being before my eyes in an everlasting present: I grow used to its different aspects so quickly that it does not seem to me to change.”
Simone de Beauvoir Quote: “To be a woman, if not a defect, is at least a peculiarity.”
Simone de Beauvoir Quote: “I could not help but comment to my distinguished audience that every question asked about Sartre concerned his work, while all those asked about Beauvoir concerned her personal life.”
Simone de Beauvoir Quote: “Dwelling-place and food are useful for life but give it no significance: the immediate goals of the housekeeper are only means, not true ends.”

Simone de Beauvoir Quote: “I had to call the past to life, and illuminate every corner of the five continents, descend to the centre of the earth and make the circuit of the moon and stars.”
