We read and write poetry because we are members of the human race. And the human race is filled with passion. And medicine, law, business, engineering, these are noble pursuits and necessary to sustain life. But poetry, beauty, romance, love, these are what we stay alive for.

Simone de Beauvoir: Nine Quotes

If you live long enough, you’ll see that every victory turns into a defeat.

Change your life today. Don’t gamble on the future, act now, without delay.

I am too intelligent, too demanding, and too resourceful for anyone to be able to take charge of me entirely. No one knows me or loves me completely. I have only myself.

When I was a child, when I was an adolescent, books saved me from despair: that convinced me that culture was the highest of values[…].

(What an odd thing a diary is: the things you omit are more important than those you put in.)

A day in which I don’t write leaves a taste of ashes.

The writer of originality, unless dead, is always shocking, scandalous; novelty disturbs and repels.

I am incapable of conceiving infinity, and yet I do not accept finity.

I was made for another planet altogether. I mistook the way.

Simone de Beauvoir was a French writer, intellectual, existentialist philosopher, political activist, feminist, and social theorist. She studied philosophy at the Sorbonne. She was a schoolteacher, and an editor, with Jean-Paul Sartre, of Les Temps Modèrnes. Beauvoir wrote novels, essays, biographies, and an autobiography. She is best known for She Came to Stay, The Mandarins, and The Second Sex.
