Love and action always imply a...

Love and action always imply a failure, but this failure must not keep us from loving and acting. For we have not only to establish what our situation is, we have to choose it in the very heart of its ambiguity.

Simone De Beauvoir 330 quotes

The time that one gains cannot...

The time that one gains cannot be accumulated in a storehouse; it is contradictory to want to save up existence, which, the fact is, exists only by being spent and there is a good case for showing that airplanes, machines, the telephone, and the radio do not make men of today happier than those of former times.

Simone De Beauvoir 330 quotes

Let women be provided with liv...

Let women be provided with living strength of their own. Let them have the means to attack the world and wrest from it their own subsistence, and their dependence will be abolished -- that of man also.

Simone De Beauvoir 330 quotes

The curse which lies upon marr...

The curse which lies upon marriage is that too often the individuals are joined in their weakness rather than in their strength -- each asking from the other instead of finding pleasure in giving.

Simone De Beauvoir 330 quotes

The ideal of happiness has alw...

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.

Writing is a trade ... which is learned by writing.

Simone De Beauvoir 330 quotes

Work would be terribly boring ...

Work would be terribly boring if one did not play the game all out, passionately.

Simone De Beauvoir 330 quotes

Man is a talking animal and he...

Man is a talking animal and he will always let himself be swayed by the power of the word. Machines won't change human nature.

Simone De Beauvoir 330 quotes

Woman is determined not by her...

Woman is determined not by her hormones or by mysterious instincts, but by the manner in which her body and her relation to the world are modified through the action of others than herself.

Simone De Beauvoir 330 quotes

The women of today are in a fair way to dethrone the myth of femininity; they are beginning to affirm their independence in concrete ways; but they do not easily succeed in living completely the life of a human being.

Simone De Beauvoir 330 quotes

The American woman's inequality with men is proved by her defiant attitude.

Simone De Beauvoir 330 quotes

Whatever the country, capitali...

Whatever the country, capitalist or socialist, man was everywhere crushed by technology, made a stranger to his own work, imprisoned, forced into stupidity.

Simone De Beauvoir 330 quotes

That is what chills your spine...

That is what chills your spine when you read an account of a suicide: not the frail corpse hanging from the window bars but what happened inside that heart immediately before.

Simone De Beauvoir 330 quotes

Why does one exist? That's not...

Why does one exist? That's not my problem. One does exist. The thing to do is to take no notice but go at it on the run and to keep on going right on until you die.

Simone De Beauvoir 330 quotes

Existentialism does not offer ...

Existentialism does not offer to the reader the consolations of an abstract evasion: existentialism proposes no evasion. On the contrary, its ethics is experienced in the truth of life, and it then appears as the only proposition of salvation which one can address to men.

Simone De Beauvoir 330 quotes

Literature is born when something in life goes slightly adrift.

Simone De Beauvoir 330 quotes

Hegel held that the two sexes ...

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 330 quotes

It is a difficult matter for man to realize the extreme importance of social discriminations which seem outwardly insignificant but which produce in woman moral and intellectual effects so profound that they appear to spring from her original nature.

Simone De Beauvoir 330 quotes

Woman has always been man's de...

Woman has always been man's dependent, if not his slave; the two sexes have never shaped the world in equality. And even today woman is heavily handicapped, though her situation is beginning to change.

Simone De Beauvoir 330 quotes

The innumerable conflicts that...

The innumerable conflicts that set men and women against one another come from the fact that neither is prepared to assume all the consequences of this situation which the one has offered and the other accepted.
