Justice can never be done in the midst of injustice (Simone De Beauvoir Quotes)
I am incapable of conceiving infinity, and yet I do not accept finity (Simone De Beauvoir Quotes)
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 Quotes)
I am too intelligent, too demanding, and too resourceful for anyone to be able to take charge of me entirely. No one knows me or loves me completely. I have only myself (Simone De Beauvoir Quotes)

Sign of old age: distress at all leave-takings, all separations. And the sadness of memories, because I’m aware they’re condemned to death (Simone De Beauvoir Quotes)
Eating, sleeping, cleaning - the years no longer rise up toward heaven, they lie spread out ahead, gray and identical. The battle against dust and dirt is never won. Washing, ironing, sweeping, ferreting out rolls of lint from under wardrobes - all this halting of decay is also the denial of life; for time simultaneously creates and destroys, and only its negative aspect concerns the housekeeper (Simone De Beauvoir Quotes)
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 Quotes)

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 Quotes)
I could see no reason for being sad. It´s just that it makes me unhappy not to feel happy. (Simone De Beauvoir Quotes)
That the child is the supreme aim of woman is a statement having precisely the value of an advertising slogan. (Simone De Beauvoir Quotes)
We belong to this earth. Now I can see the truth ... I love you on this earth of ours. Love me, do! (Simone De Beauvoir Quotes)
We always come back to the same vicious circle - an extreme degree of material or intellectual poverty does away with the means of alleviating it. (Simone De Beauvoir Quotes)
There is not a single line in this diary that does not call for a correction or a denial...Yes: throughout these pages I meant what I was writing and I meant the opposite; reading them again I feel completely lost...I was lying to myself. How I lied to myself! (Simone De Beauvoir Quotes)
That’s what I consider true generosity: You give your all, and yet you always feel as if it costs you nothing. (Simone De Beauvoir Quotes)
The way I approached a question, my habit of mind, the way I looked at things, what I took for granted - all this was myself and it did not seem to me that I could alter it. (Simone De Beauvoir Quotes)
The ideal of happiness has always taken material form in the house, whether cottage or castle; it stands for permanence and separation from the world (Simone De Beauvoir Quotes)
All the idols made by man, however terrifying they may be, are in point of fact subordinate to him, and that is why he will always have it in his power to destroy them (Simone De Beauvoir Quotes)
I tore myself away from the safe comfort of certainties through my love for truth and truth rewarded me (Simone De Beauvoir Quotes)

No one is more arrogant toward women, more aggressive or scornful, than the man who is anxious about his virility (Simone De Beauvoir Quotes)
One's life has value so long as one attributes value to the life of others, by means of love, friendship, indignation and compassion (Simone De Beauvoir Quotes)
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 Quotes)
Society, being codified by man, decrees that woman is inferior; she can do away with this inferiority only by destroying the male's superiority (Simone De Beauvoir Quotes)
The word love has by no means the same sense for both sexes, and this is one cause of the serious misunderstandings that divide them (Simone De Beauvoir Quotes)
Defending the truth is not something one does out of a sense of duty or to allay guilt complexes, but is a reward in itself (Simone De Beauvoir Quotes)
I am incapable of conceiving infinity, and yet I do not accept finity. I want this adventure that is the context of my life to go on without end (Simone De Beauvoir Quotes)
