“আমি যে তাকে ভালবাসি তা ওঁর রূপের জন্যও নয়, গুণের জন্যও নয়। ভাল না বেসে থাকতে পারি না বলে বাসি।”

“I am awfully greedy; I want everything from life. I want to be a woman and to be a man, to have many friends and to have loneliness, to work much and write good books, to travel and enjoy myself, to be selfish and to be unselfish… You see, it is difficult to get all which I want. And then when I do not succeed I get mad with anger.”
― Simone de Beauvoir
