I could see no reason for being sad. Itยดs just that it makes me unhappy not to feel happy.
Simone de BeauvoirYou have never had any confidence in him. And if he has no confidence in himself it is because he sees himself through your eyes.
Simone de BeauvoirIf you are truly on the left, if you reject ideas of power and hierarchy, what you want is equality. Otherwise, it won't work at all.
Simone de BeauvoirThe past is not a peaceful landscape lying there behind me, a country in which I can stroll wherever I please, and will gradually show me all its secret hills and dales. As I was moving forward, so it was crumbling. Most of the wreckage that can be seen is colourless, distorted, frozen: its meaning escapes me... all that's left is a skeleton. I shall never find my plans again, my hopes and fears - I shall not find myself.
