Simone de Beauvoir
b. 1-9-1908; Paris, France
d. 4-14-1986

Simone de Beauvoir was a feminist, existentialist philosopher, and social theorist. Her metaphysical novels include She Came to Stay and The Mandarins though she is best remembered for her treatise The Second Sex, an analysis of women's oppression.

Simone de Beauvoir quotes ~
• “Change your life today. Don't gamble on the future, act now, without delay.”
• “Art is an attempt to integrate evil.”
• “All oppression creates a state of war.”
• “No one is more arrogant toward women, more aggressive or scornful, than the man who is anxious about his virility.”
• “If you live long enough, you'll see that every victory turns into a defeat.”
• “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.”
• "There is only one solution if old age is not to be an absurd parody of our former life, and that is to go on pursuing ends that give our existence a meaning."

• “Every word is like an unnecessary stain on silence and nothingness.”
• “I write about myself with the same pencil and in the same exercise book as about him. It is no longer I, but another whose life is just beginning.”
• “Poets are the sense, philosophers the intelligence of humanity.”
• “To find a form that accommodates the mess, that is the task of the artist now.”
• “You're on Earth. There's no cure for that.”

b. 6-10-1915; Quebec, Canada
d. 4-5-2005; Brookline, MA

Saul Bellow was awarded the Pulitzer Prize; the National Medal of Arts; and the 1976 Nobel Prize for Literature for his “exuberant ideas, flashing irony, hilarious comedy and burning compassion ... the mixture of rich picaresque novel and subtle analysis of our culture, of entertaining adventure, drastic and tragic episodes in quick succession interspersed with philosophic conversation, all developed by a commentator with a witty tongue and penetrating insight into the outer and inner complications that drive us to act, or prevent us from acting, and that can be called the dilemma of our age.”

Saul Bellow quotes ~
• “You never have to change anything you got up in the middle of the night to write.”
• “What is art but a way of seeing?”
• “Any artist should be grateful for a naive grace which puts him beyond the need to reason elaborately.”
• “A fool can throw a stone in a pond that 100 wise men can not get out.”
• “In expressing love we belong among the undeveloped countries.”
• “When we ask for advice, we are usually looking for an accomplice.”
