Simone de Beauvoir
  • It is old age, rather than death, that is to be contrasted with life. Old age is life's parody, whereas death transforms life into a destiny: in a way it preserves it by giving it the absolute dimension. Death does away with time.

  • In itself, homosexuality is as limiting as heterosexuality: the ideal should be to be capable of loving a woman or a man either, a human being, without feeling fear, restraint, or obligation.

  • I wish that every human life might be pure transparent freedom.

  • One's life has value so long as one attributes value to the life of others, by means of love, friendship, indignation and compassion.

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