Famous quotes by Simone de Beauvoir:

"I tore myself away from the safe comfort of certainties through my love for truth - and truth rewarded me."

"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"

"Life is occupied in both perpetuating itself and in surpassing itself; if all it does is maintain itself, then living is only not dying"

"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."

"Sex pleasure in woman is a kind of magic spell; it demands complete abandon; if words or movements oppose the magic of caresses, the spell is broken."

"One's life has value so long as one attributes value to the life of others, by means of love, friendship, indignation and compassion"

"The writer of originality, unless dead, is always shocking, scandalous; novelty disturbs and repels."

"In itself, homosexuality is as limiting as heterosexuality: the ideal should be to be capable of loving a woman or a man; either, a human being, without feeling fear, restraint, or obligation."

"On the day when it will be possible for woman to love not in her weakness but in strength, not to escape herself but to find herself, not to abase herself but to assert herself -- on that day love will become for her, as for man, a source of life . . ."

"One is not born a woman, one becomes one."

"When an individual is kept in a situation of inferiority, the fact is that he does become inferior."

"All oppression creates a state of war."

"Society, being codified by man, decrees that woman is inferior; she can do away with this inferiority only by destroying the male's superiority."

"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."

"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."

"To make oneself an object, to make oneself passive, is a very different thing from being a passive object."

"One's life has value so long as one attributes value to the life of others, by means of love, friendship, indignation and compassion."

"I am incapable of conceiving infinity, and yet I do not accept finity."

"It is not in giving life but in risking life that man is raised above the animal; that is why superiority has been accorded in humanity not to the sex that brings forth but to that which kills."

"Life is occupied in both perpetuating itself and in surpassing itself; if all it does is maintain itself, then living is only not dying."
