Famous quotes containing the word beauvoir:

    It’s frightening to think that you mark your children merely by being yourself.... It seems unfair. You can’t assume the responsibility for everything you do—or don’t do.
    —Simone De Beauvoir (1908–1986)

    Between women love is contemplative; caresses are intended less to gain possession of the other than gradually to re-create the self through her; separateness is abolished, there is no struggle, no victory, no defeat; in exact reciprocity each is at once subject and object, sovereign and slave; duality become mutuality.
    —Simone De Beauvoir (1908–1986)

    All oppression creates a state of war.
    —Simone De Beauvoir (1908–1986)
