Memoires d'une jeune fille rangee by Simone de Beauvoir

Memoires d'une jeune fille rangee by Simone de Beauvoir French Edition "I dreamed of being my own cause and my own end; I now thought that literature would enable me to realize this wish. It would assure me of an immortality that would compensate for the lost eternity; there was no longer a God to love me, but I would burn in millions of hearts. By writing a work nourished by my history, I would create myself anew and I would justify my existence. At the same time, I would serve humanity: what better gift to give it than books? I was interested in myself and others at the same time; I accepted my "incarnation" but I did not want to renounce the universal: this project reconciled everything; he flattered all the aspirations that had developed in me during these fifteen years."
