“Love is always open arms. If you close your arms about love you will find that you are left holding only yourself.”
― Leo Buscaglia

“On the day when it will be possible for woman to love not in her weakness but in her 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 and not of mortal danger.”
― Simone de Beauvoir

“To lose confidence in one’s body is to lose confidence in oneself.”
― Simone de Beauvoir

“I tore myself away from the safe comfort of certainties through my love for truth - and truth rewarded me.”
― Simone de Beauvoir
