"One's life has value so long as one attributes value to the life of others, by means of love, friendship, indignation, compassion."
"Each of us is responsible for everything and to every human being."
"Self-knowledge is no guarantee of happiness, but it is on the side of happiness and can supply the courage to fight for it."
I noticed that it was the birthday of Simone de Beauvoir a couple of weeks ago. Someone I admire. I've only read The Second Sex but I hope to start reading some of her novels this year too. Those above are some favourite quotes from her.
