What an odd thing a diary is: the things you omit are more important than those you put in.

Representation of the world, like the world itself, is the work of men; they describe it from their own point of view, which they confuse with the absolute truth.

One is not born a woman, but becomes one.

No one is more arrogant toward women, more aggressive or scornful, than the man who is anxious about his virility.

Life is occupied in both perpetuating itself and in surpassing itself; if all it does is maintain itself, then living is only not dying.

If you live long enough, you'll see that every victory turns into a defeat.
