Additional quotes by Simone de Beauvoir

C'est par le travail que la femme a conquis sa dignité d'être humain; mais ce fut une conquête singulièrement dure et lente.

...مرگ عزیز، مرگی که زیبایی گل‌ها از اوست، شیرینی جوانی از اوست، مرگی که به کاروکردار انسان، به سخاوت و بی‌باکی و جانفشانی و از خودگذشته‌گی او معنا می‌دهد، مرگی که همه‌ی ارزش زنده‌گی بسته به اوست...

C'est en risquant sa vie que l'homme s'élève au-dessus de l'animal.
