The torment that so many young women know, bound hand and foot by love and motherhood, without having forgotten their former dreams.

It is in great part the anxiety of being a woman that devastates the feminine body.

I never thought of myself as being in the avant-garde. I said what I had to say, as I was able to say it.

There are topics which are common to men and women. I think that if a woman speaks of oppression, of misery, she will speak of it in exactly the same way as a man. But if she speaks of her own personal problems as a woman, she will obviously speak in another way.

I am not at all for a feminism which is entirely separatist, which would say, "this domain is purely for women." I don't believe that at all.

Art is an attempt to integrate evil.

There is no justification for present existence other than its expansion into an indefinitely open future.
