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.

It is perfectly natural for the future woman to feel indignant at the limitations posed upon her by her sex. The real question is not why she should reject them: the problem is rather to understand why she accepts them.

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.

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 330 quotes

Society cares about the individual only in so far as he is profitable. The young know this. Their anxiety as they enter in upon social life matches the anguish of the old as they are excluded from it.

One is not born, but rather becomes, a woman.

It was easier for me to think of a world without a creator than of a creator loaded with all the contradictions of the world.

When women act like women, they are accused of being inferior. When women act like human beings, they are accused of behaving like men.

Simone De Beauvoir 330 quotes

Woman is shut up in a kitchen ...

Woman is shut up in a kitchen or in a boudoir, and astonishment is expressed that her horizon is limited. Her wings are clipped, and it is found deplorable that she cannot fly.

A man would never get the notion of writing a book on the peculiar situation of the human male.

One is not born a genius, one ...

One is not born a genius, one becomes a genius; and the feminine situation has up to the present rendered this becoming practically impossible.

It is in the knowledge of the genuine conditions of our lives that we must draw our strength to live and our reasons for living.

The torment that so many young women know, bound hand and foot by love and motherhood, without having forgotten their former dreams.

You can't assume the responsibility for everything you do or don't do.

Simone De Beauvoir 330 quotes

Those interested in perpetuating present conditions are always in tears about the marvelous past that is about to disappear, without having so much as a smile for the young future.

The body is not a thing, it is a situation: it is our grasp on the world and our sketch of our project

Simone De Beauvoir 330 quotes

There's something tragic about you. Your feeling for the absolute. You were made to believe in God and spend your life in a convent.' There are too many with that vocation. God would have had to love only me.
