Simone de Beauvoir
“If the feminine issue is so absurd, is because the male's arrogance made it "a discussion”
Simone de Beauvoir, The Second Sex

T.S. Eliot
“We might remind ourselves that criticism is as inevitable as breathing, and that we should be none the worse for articulating what passes in our minds,... for criticizing our own minds in their work of criticism.”
T.S. Eliot

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

Simone de Beauvoir
“When she does not find love, she may find poetry. Because she does not act, she observes, she feels, she records; a color, a smile awakens profound echoes within her; her destiny is outside her, scattered in cities already built, on the faces of men already marked by life, she makes contact, she relishes with passion and yet in a manner more detached, more free, than that of a young man. Being poorly integrated in the universe of humanity and hardly able to adapt herself therein, she, like the child, is able to see it objectively; instead of being interested solely in her grasp on things, she looks for their significance; she catches their special outlines, their unexpected metamorphoses. She rarely feels a bold creativeness, and usually she lacks the technique of self-expression; but in her conversation, her letters, her literary essays, her sketches, she manifests an original sensitivity. The young girl throws herself into things with ardor, because she is not yet deprived of her transcendence; and the fact that she accomplishes nothing, that she is nothing, will make her impulses only the more passionate. Empty and unlimited, she seeks from within her nothingness to attain All.”
Simone de Beauvoir, The Second Sex

Simone de Beauvoir
“...her wings are cut and then she is blamed for not knowing how to fly.”
Simone de Beauvoir, The Second Sex
