“Insects were scurrying about in the shade cast by the grass, and the lawn was a huge monotonous forest of thousands of little green blades, all equal, all alike, hiding the world from each other. Anguished, she thought, "I don't want to be just another blade of grass.”

“It takes a lot of strength, a lot of pride or a lot of love to believe that what one man does has any importance, or that life can conquer death.”
― Simone de Beauvoir, All Men Are Mortal

― Simone de Beauvoir, همه می‌‌میرند
