How to Be Authentic Quotes

“One of the central themes underpinning Beauvoir’s philosophy is that we are thrown into the world and create our being through our choices. If we’re prevented from choosing, then that’s oppression; if we choose to give up our freedom, then that’s a moral failure.”
― Skye Cleary, How to Be Authentic: Simone de Beauvoir and the Quest for Fulfillment

“While we can’t choose whether other people will cast us as Other, we can choose how we treat other people.”
― Skye C. Cleary, How to Be Authentic: Simone de Beauvoir and the Quest for Fulfillment
