If the unconscious must expre...

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 330 quotes

Anger or revolt that does not...

Anger or revolt that does not get into the muscles remains a figment of the imagination.

Simone De Beauvoir 330 quotes

I think that feminism permits...

I think that feminism permits women to speak among themselves, instead of simply being resentful, having personal complaints, which get them nowhere and which make them sick and ill-tempered, depressive and poison the lives of their husbands and children. It's much better to arrive at a collective consciousness of this problem, which is both a kind of therapy and the basis for a struggle.

Simone De Beauvoir 330 quotes

The human species is forever ...

The human species is forever in a state of change, forever becoming.

Simone De Beauvoir 330 quotes

I've always been keenly aware...

I've always been keenly aware of the passing of time. I've always thought that I was old. Even when I was twelve, I thought it was awful to be thirty. I felt that something was lost. At the same time, I was aware of what I could gain, and certain periods of my life have taught me a great deal. But, in spite of everything, I've always been haunted by the passing of time and by the fact that death keeps closing in on us.

Simone De Beauvoir 330 quotes

She offered her mouth to him,...

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 330 quotes

We must not confuse the prese...

We must not confuse the present with the past. With regard to the past, no further action is possible.

Simone De Beauvoir 330 quotes

To create a language all of a...

To create a language all of a piece which would be a women's language, that I find quite insane. There does not exist a mathematics which is only a women's mathematics, or a feminine science.

Simone De Beauvoir 330 quotes

I willingly trust myself to c...

I willingly trust myself to chance. I let my thoughts wander, I digress, not only sitting at my work, but all day long, all night even. It often happens that a sentence suddenly runs through my head before I go to bed, or when I am unable to sleep, and I get up again and write it down.

Simone De Beauvoir 330 quotes

Even if one is neither vain n...

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 330 quotes

I went to get a detective story. You have to kill time. But time will kill me too - and there?s the true, preestablished balance.

Simone De Beauvoir 330 quotes

The past is not a peaceful la...

The past is not a peaceful landscape lying there behind me, a country in which I can stroll wherever I please, and will gradually show me all its secret hills and dales. As I was moving forward, so it was crumbling. Most of the wreckage that can be seen is colourless, distorted, frozen: its meaning escapes me... all that's left is a skeleton. I shall never find my plans again, my hopes and fears - I shall not find myself.

Simone De Beauvoir 330 quotes

Literature takes its revenge ...

Literature takes its revenge on reality by making it the slave of fiction.

Simone De Beauvoir 330 quotes

Weakness' is weakness only in...

Weakness' is weakness only in light of the aims man sets for himself, the instruments at his disposal and the laws he imposes.

Simone De Beauvoir 330 quotes

I think that The Second Sex w...

I think that The Second Sex will seem an old, dated book, after a while. But nonetheless, a book which will have made its contribution. At least, I hope so.

Simone De Beauvoir 330 quotes

The earthly meaning of eterna...

The earthly meaning of eternal life was death, and she refused to die.

Simone De Beauvoir 330 quotes

The Sahara was a spectacle as...

The Sahara was a spectacle as alive as the sea. The tints of the dunes changed according to the time of day and the angle of the light: golden as apricots from far off, when we drove close to them they turned to freshly made butter; behind us they grew pink; from sand to rock, the materials of which the desert was made varied as much as its tints.

Simone De Beauvoir 330 quotes

If you try consciously to be ...

If you try consciously to be avant-garde, it's a little dangerous, like the present state of modern painting, where dealers try to be avant-garde, and under this pretext, painters take some old scraps and call it avant-garde.

Simone De Beauvoir 330 quotes

There are cases where the sla...

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 330 quotes

Anais Nin shows an occasional...

Anais Nin shows an occasional grace in writing, but her work is quite foreign to me, precisely because she wants so much to be feminine and not feminist. And then she is so gaga before so many men. She talks about men I know in France, men who were less than nothing, and she considers them kings, extraordinary people.
