Je doute, parce que je crois que l'avenir saura mieux.

jeudi le seize avril


La femme se détermine et se différencie par rapport à l'homme et non celui-ci par rapport à elle ; elle est l'inessentiel en face de l'essentiel. Il est le sujet, il est l'Absolu : elle est l'Autre.
Simone de BEAUVOIR, Le Deuxième Sexe
Woman is defined and differenciated in relation to man and not he in relation to her; she is the inessential in front of the essential. He is the subject, he is the Absolute: she is the Other.
