Simone de Beauvoir
“But I know my only defense is to answer, “I think it because it is true,” thereby eliminating my subjectivity;”
Simone de Beauvoir, Memoirs of a Dutiful Daughter

Simone de Beauvoir
“A woman alone always seems a little unusual; it is not true that men respect women: they respect each other through their women—wives, mistresses, “kept” women; when masculine protection no longer extends over her, woman is disarmed before a superior caste that is aggressive, sneering, or hostile. As an “erotic perversion,”
Simone de Beauvoir, The Second Sex

Simone de Beauvoir
“The little girl’s sense of secrecy that developed at prepuberty only grows in importance. She closes herself up in fierce solitude: she refuses to reveal to those around her the hidden self that she considers to be her real self and that is in fact an imaginary character: she plays at being a dancer like Tolstoy’s Natasha, or a saint like Marie Leneru, or simply the singular wonder that is herself. There is still an enormous difference between this heroine and the objective face that her parents and friends recognise in her. She is also convinced that she is misunderstood: her relationship with herself becomes even more passionate: she becomes intoxicated with her isolation, feels different, superior, exceptional: she promises that the future will take revenge on the mediocrity of her present life. From this narrow and petty existence she escapes by dreams.”
Simone de Beauvoir, The Second Sex

Simone de Beauvoir
“Between women love is contemplation; caresses are meant less to appropriate the other than to recreate oneself slowly through her; separation is eliminated, there is neither fight nor victory nor defeat; each one is both subject and object”
Simone de Beauvoir, The Second Sex

Simone de Beauvoir
“Death itself does not frighten me; it is the jump I am afraid of.”
Simone de Beauvoir, A Very Easy Death
