    Betty Friedan
    “Each suburban wife struggles with it alone. As she made the beds, shopped for groceries, matched slipcover material, ate peanut butter sandwiches with her children, chauffeured Cub Scouts and Brownies, lay beside her husband at night- she was afraid to ask even of herself the silent question-- 'Is this all?”
    ― Betty Friedan, The Feminine Mystique

    Jean-Paul Sartre
    “He was free, free in every way, free to behave like a fool or a machine, free to accept, free to refuse, free to equivocate; to marry, to give up the game, to drag this death weight about with him for years to come. He could do what he liked, no one had the right to advise him, there would be for him no Good or Evil unless he thought them into being.”
    ― Jean-Paul Sartre

    Jean-Paul Sartre
    “I have crossed the seas, I have left cities behind me,
    and I have followed the source of rivers towards their
    source or plunged into forests, always making for other
    cities. I have had women, I have fought with men ; and
    I could never turn back any more than a record can spin
    in reverse. And all that was leading me where ?
    To this very moment...”
    ― Jean-Paul Sartre, Nausea
